For the first time in what seems like forever I won't be traipsing out to put up birds at dusk. Feels weird.
Still have Momma Rabbit and the bebes, for another 3 weeks; they (well, momma and 5 of the bebes) will be off to some friends. Two of the bebes go to KY to be pets to some sweet kiddos.
Plants from the garden are slowly being assessed, dug up and repotted in their new container homes. Grapes, kiwi and thornless blackberries will come up in about 2 weeks to be repotted. Fingers crossed that everyone survives and thrives.
We've shown the current place to a couple of potential buyers for the landlady...not sure anyone will buy at what she's asking without A/C (folks are sorta set on having it). I'm probably a little too honest about the place to promote a sale though.
Next week begins phone calls to schools, paperwork gathering, faxing and getting everything in line for the screamers to start on time. First day is August 7th down there, so have to get on it if the new school is going to be set to handle the eldest screamer's "needs." Paperwork required to get the screamers insurance through the State must be done (the kind we still pay for but at a lower rate than private...Obamacare before it was Obamacare...KCHIP if you're curious). Transfer stuff for the VA...change of address for bills, checking/savings accounts and mail in general. Transcripts to be ordered for Tanker. Options to be explored for me (school will likely be put off until next Spring for myself however).
Most of the house is packed...Tanker is in a hurry despite the fact we still have approximately 24 days here. Most of the big items that needed to be sold are sold. I've had a hard time dealing with the freebie seekers trying to lowball prices...but have decided to start asking them if the lowball price they're offering is what they would accept and why.
Alas, that is the life here at the moment....not terribly interesting, but not boring either.
