susandennisIt is 9 days until moving day.
As if I didn't spend enough money out shopping yesterday, last night my fingers bought more stuff online. And, I learned that my Amazon options are going to change dramatically.
When I select items now, I'm generally given lots of options. I can get it today from 2-6 or 3-10 or tomorrow 6-10 with a $25 or $35 order. I can select no rush shipping with $1 electronic credit (sadly the 6% cash back deal seems gone). And I can generally always find Amazon or third party stuff that will be here in 2 days tops. When I use this address.
when I use my Issaquah address, the options dwindle quickly. Same day, overnight and no rush options disappear entirely.
Hilariously, there is one item that I can't get their programming to delay sufficiently yet. I want a set of nesting tables delivered to Issaquah after the 30th and so far the only option is the 27th. Oh, wait! I'll be kosher on the 27th and they can just put the box in my unit! Now ordered! (I can get stuff put in my unit before the closing but that's by asking for a special favor and stuff I don't need yet doesn't warrant bothering them.)
My ear hurts less yesterday and today but now itches way more. It's itched for years but is now sore because of a little pimple just inside the opening which appears to be healing. But, it is driving me crazy.
Today's big agenda item is getting rid of the old litter box. They are both using the litter robot now. And, while I'm sure they would love for me to clean out the old litter box and leave it, that ain't happening. Daily scooping is over for me. The litter robot is maybe 4 feet from my bed and I've been putting it to sleep at night - they can use it, it just won't run the cleaning cycle. Last night, I forgot, and this morning I discovered that Julio used it last night and it ran the cleaning cycle and I didn't even hear it. So... no more litter robot sleeping and no more old litter box.
Then I can clean up all the litter from the bathroom floor and surrounding area. They don't kick litter out of the robot at all - at least not so far.
Seems like a few weeks ago, I said that it was my last Seahawks home game. Wrong. They have one today and one next Sunday. So... locked in here. I'm kind of out of food. I could go up to Uwajimaya and might. Or, make do. I have eggs and bacon and toaster waffles. Or and sausages. And pasta. Ok, I'm fine. But tomorrow, there should be a grocery run.
I'm very excited about getting all the stuff for the apartment. I can now really imagine what it will be like - 9 days to go.

Date: 2023-10-22 02:53 pm (UTC)Some friends of mine moved into a senior living continuous care facility and spoke highly. My parents spent their last years in one that was fab. They generally have a wait list of a few years so I started looking. I only found one that I was interested in. Timber Ridge in Issaquah (about 20 miles up the road and very suburbia.
So when my brother was here after Labor Day, we went to investigate. It turned out to be a lovely place so I paid the bucks to get on the wait list.
They said it could be a few months to a year or so. I picked out the apartment I wanted.
And in less than three weeks that sucker came available. So I said yes. It's half the size of this place. So I'm donating most of what's here and taking my toothbrush and moving with the cats on October 31.
It's luxury senior living. Three restaurants and a bar, meals included, a salt water lap pool, all kinds of activities to take part in or ignore. Housecleaning also included and maintenance.
So there you have it. While you were a basic broccoli, I've been quite busy!!

LOL, I just posted about keeping 'just enough' food on hand and then I read yours about oh, no, I may run out! I bet you are really looking forward to the dining options at TR.
