Are we done yet?

For me, life seems to be in a constant state of transition. I have yet to stay more than 2 nights in a row at the new house – I feel I’m spending most of my time back in Fremont in the old, pretty much empty house. Depressing, really.

I am glad we allowed ourselves ample time to get everything out and clean in the Fremont house – we need it. We have until the 18th to be out. What doesn’t help is Cameron is in Virginia through the 12th – I dropped him off at the airport early Sunday morning. But this training was scheduled back in February and his job depends on his attending this training.

Basically, this weekend was spent half unpacking in the Elk Grove house and packing and cleaning at the Fremont house. The Fremont house is pretty empty now, and the cleaning has started, but there still seems to be a long way to go. I’m not sure my body can survive. Currently, I’m living on Pepsi and Red Bull to stay awake at work and needing Advil as often as allowed to keep my body from stiffening up, but that only relieves the pain I am experiencing a little. When all this is through, I’m getting myself a pedicure, manicure and massage!

Luckily, next weekend when I come up I won’t be alone – I’ve enlisted the help of my mom for a round of cleaning and company. I’m not fond of staying in a house alone and definitely not when it’s almost empty. Every creak and moan the house makes, wakes me up. I have Mel with me, but she seems to be a pretty sound sleeper and lately, a dreamer. I wake up at least once a night to her half-barking in her sleep, moving her paws like she’s chasing something.

I can’t wait until we’re completely done with the Fremont house and we are all under one roof for more than a few nights. And when I say all I mean Cameron, me, Melody, Jake, Kelsey and Spaz. Poor Spaz has been left behind in Fremont the whole time. He will have to wait until Cameron can get another strong person down to Fremont to move the cage, which likely be part of the last load. We’re going to need one more U-Haul load to get it all out – man we’ve accumulated a lot of crap! We’re looking forward to liberating ourselves of some of it.


Love always,
