Before I get into my feelings about being back in Canada, I'd like to pat ourselves on the back for what we have accomplished. With the help of some dear friends and our son and his girlfriend; in the span of 12 days, we were able to unload three 10ft rental trucks, return two of them to Niagara Falls NY, one to Detriot MI, transfer the Buick's ownership to Josh, list and SELL the Mercedes, renew our drivers licenses (not as easy as we thought), get new pay-as-you-go cell phone numbers because our US numbers crapped out on us, visit 50% of our immeadiate family, train Zeus to eat his treats in the carrier crate that he will be travelling in and get the vet's approval for him to travel to Portugal.
I could disect every task listed above and give you the nitty gritty details like how Kevin got kicked out of the first Drive Test Centre or that Josh recieved close to 5000 clicks on the Marketplace ad for the Mercedes plus 90+ calls/text messages (even after he marked it as SOLD) but I am emotionally exhausted. I'm carrying some guilt for not writting back my penpal yet, so I know I have to get that done ASAP. And I feel restless not having a job to go to, a purpose, a pay check. I am my best self when I can be productive. I like to accomplish things and I especially like to be paid for those accomplishments 😂. I have already infiltrated my son's house with my decorating style, reorganzing shelves, and purchased furniture that I beileved he 'needed'. I am out of control, sitting still is not my strong suit. This is the first day since we have arrived in Canada that is wide open, no plans, just everyday kind of stuff but I'm going nuts. I know Kevin feels the same way which is why he took it upon himself to put one of his motorcycles back together, he is in the garage tinkering as I type. I am working on catching up on a few tv shows (7 more episodes of Y&R) and then I will have to find something to occupy my mind. The visiting with family and friends is great but I need more than that while we count down to September 7th ✈️
