Technically we're homeless. Since 8:00 a.m. on Thursday. It was funny to see what possessions we owned that were so important to us that we had to move them ourselves - 2 mattresses, 3 computers, radios, 2 tvs and the coffee pot. We really don't have enough to fill a UHaul, but had to have the UHaul to haul Rufus (Eric's antique truck - or as I like to call it, a really big, expensive lawn ornament).
I won't lie - nerves were frazzled and snappy repartee wasn't necessarily a good thing while we were packing the last bit of house before we had to turn over the keys. (That was the hurry up part). But finally it was over. Then we sent Nathan to school, ran a few errands on post, then just had to hang out until we could check into the Motel 6. (That's the wait part). Eric and I really didn't know what to do with ourselves. We had lunch at the mall and wandered around there and the PX and into a couple of pawn shops. Highly unusual for the both of us. I don't wander around shopping emporiums just to kill time. Too easy to spend money un-necessarily that way.
Motel 6 was hopping last night. If it weren't for the cats, we could upgrade our lodging choices. Tonight we stay at the big town of Durant. Whee-hoo...
Nathan and I slept in while Eric went to finish up some paperwork in post. Unfortunately the paperwork hasn't come through for us to have his promotion ceremony today before we leave. After one last trucker's breakfast at Big Chef's, Nathan and I are just waiting for Eric is come get us. (More waiting).
