Back at work....and packing. Blech !

So, I kinda dig the two weekdays off thing. I was able to have lunch with a friend on Wednesday. Got some errands run, made a hair appointment for weekday in a couple of weeks, etc. It was nice. I'm sure when I am working all day tomorrow and Sunday I might think differently.....but I'm not sure. I don't really do anything that significant during the day on Saturday and Sunday.....and I am off at 5:00p in case I want to do anything in the evening. So, we'll see.

My sister came in yesterday, so she is here helping me pack my apartment. Of course, there are some things that have to stay unpacked until I actually move but there is plenty to be gone through and packed or tossed before the big day. And, yes, dad, we are tossing a lot. We have actually finished in the living room and have done about 3/4 of the kitchen. This afternoon and tomorrow will be entirely focused on my bedroom, bathroom and closet.....which is where 75% of my stuff is housed. Of course, I am working so I can only direct her and help a little in between calls but it seems to be going OK so far.

Mom and dad are doing well. They have been to see Joey twice, once on "visiting" day and then the other night for group therapy. I think the group thing will benefit all of them ... sounds like they had some good feedback from both sides . Everyone was emotional and honest...which is good. I'm looking forward to hearing more updates from them each time they see him. He wants mail, mail, mail.....so JoLynn and I went and bought a bunch of cards for him yesterday and will start sending them more often.

That's all I know for now.
