Yes friends, I have indeed dropped the ball at the Surly Farmer. Sorry, but things have been kinda hectic here at Casa de Uhaul Boxes. Add to that the holidays, which seem to be going by faster, yet require more energy with each passing year.
The girls came home for the holidays, our last Christmas in this house, and the girls’ last days in the house. Girl Number One left this morning, to be followed by her sister this weekend. It’s stupid cold here lately, but that did not stop GNO from taking a quick spin around the exterior, taking it all in for the last time. She moved into this house when she was 10 years old, so this is effectively her childhood home. There were tears. Coming back into the house, I noted a cosmic emptiness, bigger than when she left for college the first year, and that’s saying something. I’ll be interested to see Girl Number Two’s reaction upon her departure. Dr. Evil is traveling next week, so it’ll be just me, the boxes, and the geriatric animals next week. Should be interesting.
I’ll be packing up the main computer in the next few days, so this’ll probably be the last post until we get settled at the farm. I did want to take time to wish everyone a happy New Year, and hope for a much better 2018. Thanks for reading, and I’ll be back as soon as possible, broadcasting from a whole new ZipCode. (Four? How did I end up with a 4 ZipCode??)
Wish you and yours a Happy New Year, safe travel and a smooth transition.
