March 21/2020 A Change Is Gonna Do Me Good

Oh Corona Virus I really don’t like you. How you have changed the world. Some things are for the better but mostly for the worse. I as most everyone else in the world am not leaving my house unless absolutely necessary. Monday was ok. Tuesday was well I guess ok too. But by Wednesday and Thursday I was a little stir crazy. Friday I wanted to be anywhere but here. Today Saturday I just wanted to get out of here. Go anywhere, just get the heck out of my house.

I am in the middle of packing for our move, I am mostly done the packing and putting all our stuff in storage. But back in January we decided to have an Auction. Great idea. But in hind-site not a great idea. Who knew we were going to have a deadly virus infiltrate our world??? Well not me that’s for sure. So I and I really mean I have been going through everything we own sorting and organizing everything what to keep what to sell, what to pawn off on my kids and sisters. Lol lol. I finally got through everything and had it all sorted when this virus took hold of the world. So we decided to change our auction to on-line. Ok I said that will be ok. But the work to get ready for it was enormous. Everything had to be loted, numbered and then a description written down about each lot. We have 1300 lots. So you can just imagine the work. Then today my auctioneer called and he is worried that the government is going to make it less than 10 people in a crowd. So we are back at square one after all the work. We will make the decision on Monday as to weather we will go ahead or not. I have been teary all afternoon as I try to decide what to do now. Nothing is ever simple for me. BUT really a world wide deadly virus. You can’t make this shit up.

Tomorrow is another day I am going to go to the mall shopping, then I need groceries at Walmart and Costco. Then I am going to visit my sons and grandkids, also my sisters and finally my Dad. Big day ahead. Really I am doing none of this !!!! But that’s what I would have done on a normal Sunday. We are far from normal these days.

Tomorrow ……. Guess I will just clean house and do some deep cleaning as I get ready to hand my keys over to the new owners in 40 days. Not that I am counting. But yes I really am. I am so ready to move on and get some new neighbours in a new neighbourhood. 🏡🏡 A change is gonna do me good. Lol lol (Etta James).

This week I had to do one of the toughest jobs yet. I had to pack up all my Angels from my Angel cabinet. That was so hard for me. It really is my connection to BJ. Every single Angel in there means something to me. As I was packing them I would remember where I got it from or who gave it to me. I knew everyone. It was my little piece of the world to share with BJ, to honour him, to love him from so far away. Yet it kept him close to me. I hope wherever we settle I will get a special place. I know never that big and beautiful again. But a special place for just me and BJ to share again. Angels for my Angel. 😇😢

Finally I need to thank my kids for taking all the stuff they did. ( of course only the good stuff or stuff worth anything ). To my sisters for also taking stuff, they were not so fussy just a few things to remember us by. To my boys, Taylor and our cousin Allan for helping me move stuff to storage. Moving from an average to a 40 foot trailer the downsizing is unbelievable. But I have got it done. 🤗😎😃🙏🏻

Jamie and I look so forward to our next big adventure. Not sure where we are going or how long we will be there. But we will be together that’s for sure. No more yard work, no more neighbours. Just the two of us together following our dreams. ❤️🍾🎉

Last a side note on my cancer journey. I am feeling great. I am doing great. I had a checkup on my arm and my lymphodemia. When we first found it I was at 9% fluid in my arm, just two weeks ago I am at 5%. My nurse said she can tell I am good at wearing my arm band. Well yes I am thank you very much. I continue to follow my Mexico doctors orders and I am sure that’s why I am doing so good. I will keep doing all that I am because it sure seems to be doing good for me👍🏻🤗

Tonight’s saying : Let your faith be bigger than your fear. Stay safe, and healthy, and wash your hands.

Beth 😇
