Time to get your game face on...

My mother and I had a relaxing weekend. It was a three day weekend for her due to Memorial Day on Monday. I think she rather needed the rest. The closer she gets to retirement means more and more work for her to finish out her projects before she leaves her position. She's rather exhausted.

We've been trying to clean out all of our storage rooms and get rid of furniture we don't need. It's been a long process though as we've both been up and down health wise. We took a break back in December due to us both being sick all the time. We're better now, and with retirement looming on us, we're trying to work as fast as we can to get it done before she retires. That gives us a month.

So, for this week I've got to finish spring cleaning and rearranging the living room. We're considering a move to Wyoming in a year or so, so for now we're also taking this spring clean as a chance to go through everything we own (room by room) and get rid of the excess as we go. I've set a timeline for the end of the week for the living room as my Mom has a co-workers tall son coming in next Saturday to help us short folks change light bulbs, and also help us move in her oversized plants from her office.

Pfft. I'm exhausted just thinking about it. I've got some plants and seeds to get in the ground too since the monsoon has moved on.

So, in summary: my week is going to be super busy. Hope you all are going to have a good week!

Wyoming, huh? Sounds like an adventure.

It's not quite set it stone yet, but it's a good option. My mom wants to move somewhere that has good benefits for retirees, and they seem to have the right laws. Plus we're a bit weary of living places with a big population, so Wyoming it is. Nevada is second on the list, but that one sounds iffy to me. I've seen too many bad things happen there in movies to feel comfortable there. LoL

Avoid Nevada. It sucks.

Ah, good to know. Will pass it along to my Mom when she brings it up again. :D

There is nothing more depressing than living near legalized casino gambling. Seriously. Going to the grocery store was something to be dreaded knowing that I would always be confronted with the sight of mothers putting the food money into slot machines at the entrance while their dirty-faced kids wandered aimlessly in the parking lot.

I really don't think I'd be able to take seeing that every day. How very depressing, and absolutely heartbreaking.

Sounds like you have good gameplan! Good luck :)

I do indeed. Not having much lucking sticking to it, but as luck would have it I've been given a one week reprieve. :D
