This morning I see a  little link on hotels.com about the coronavirus.  Seems they were going to allow people to cancel, with refund, or change their reservations.  Emails to come soon but you have to do it at least 24 hours in advance.  Well doesn't that just suck?  Since my reservation is for today.
Jodi ended up catching a cold so she opted to stay home.  Perfectly fine with me.
I drove to Astoria and checked in at the hotel. Every one was so friendly.  Took a nap and then drove down to Seaside for a few.  Maybe a walk on the beach.  That didn't happen.  My knees are still complaining.  I bought a hoodie and then sat on a bench just taking it all in for awhile.  It wasn't terribly crowded.  There wasn't anything to do as most shops were closed.  Restaurants were closed.  That was all fine with me as I just wanted to soak up some ocean vibes and recharge. 
Headed back to the hotel with some Taco Bell.  Holed up in my room with the window open so I could listen to the water and the seagulls.  Watched several "Dirty Jobs" on TV and relaxed.  I had a nice view out my window.  Practiced my social distancing by staying in. 

Bigger Dent

In this space lives Betsy, Monsta and Willow. With me comes Mica and Sunset.  Betsy guards the bed because Mica is under it.  She spends a lot of time just watchig and waiting.  Willow just comes and goes.  She doesn't really seem to care about Mica.  Maybe she senses that Mica is old. 
Sunset, on the other hand, is another story.  Willow does not like her and so Sunset has not ventured back in since she went outside.  She is living in the hot tub.  Okay.  We will wait it out and see how it goes.
Dale met Pat and I at the house and loaded up his trailer again.  He estimated about $50 and it was $52.  Pretty good guess.  That is a big load off my mind. 
I did not make my goal of being done by the 15th, but I'm pretty sure I should make it by the 1st.  And I guess that is all right because of the current state of the day for the country.  I don't know if people are buying houses right now. 

A Big Dent

I spent a good chunk of the day bagging up trash.  Some was real trash and some was just stuff I didn't want to deal with.  It was nice to not make so many trips up and down the stairs.  I think they may be the death of my knees yet.  Funny how I haven't had problems with my chronic tendinitis in a couple of years.  One move with stairs and it is back with a vengeance. 

Moving Day for the Furniture

Always in the past my/our stuff has moved via pick-up truck or u-haul.  And that means mostly the stuff just gets stuffed and moved.  Anything that needs care usually goes in a car. 
Today a moving company came.  They only moved my furniture that I am keeping.  Everything was wrapped and moved with great care.  Everything arrived in perfect condition and very quickly.  The whole thing went smooth and was done in about three hours.  They were happy to find out the refrigerator was not going upstairs.  ;p
As I always say, where my bed is is where I am.  That means I am moved.  Not all my stuff, but the big stuff and me. 
Now to get at getting the rest done.  Dump day is Friday.

Just Tired

Tired of packing.  Tired of moving.  Just tired overall.  I have a day at the beach planned and paid for for this weekend.  Wondering how that is going to play out.  It is a non-refundable reservation. 

Yeehaw

Well part of the day went as planned and part didn't.  The carpet guy came when he was suppose to.  He had cut the carpet before loading it in his van.  I was a bit apprehensive.  It all worked out though.  Took him until 1 p.m. to get done though.  Looks fabulous. 
Since he ran so long I did not make it to the funeral.  It was at 1 p.m. in Amboy.  So I took the opportunity to go to the grocery store.  Amazed at the things they were out of.  Like flour.  Guess every one is baking now. 
The Comcast tech was already there when I got back.  Made me anxious when he told me he was taking my box.  Wait...what?  My programs are not stored on the box.  So I have a new little tiny box and all my stuff was there. 
Took a load of boxes over.  Time to rock and roll.  Movers come on Wednesday morning. 

Packing

Now that I have some boxes I am back to packing.  The cupboards are looking a lot empty.  You have to look through the mess to see what is missing.  I'm not a very organized packer.  I will get it done though.  It's going to look interesting on the other end.
I stopped briefly at Pat's to give him his birthday presents.  He had informed me last week that today was strictly a gaming day and he was going out for dinner at Guiseppes.  He liked his tool holder for the CNC machine stuff and of course he was happy with the new organizers for screws.  The old ones were Dad's and they are very very old.
