I need to call the Reporter tomorrow and make sure they have my new address as of Thursday. Kim said she would take care of that but I haven't had a newspaper in well over a week. Of course, I know that is the fault of the US Postal Service. It takes a week to 10 days to get mail after you fill out a change of address form and then they send it clear to Wichita to be sorted at their Central Processing service. That's ridiculous! I also need to contact Consumer Reports and give them my new address but I am not sure I will know how to do that without a copy of the magazine for my customer number and I pass mine on to Bob who passes them on to Denise. I also get the Reader's Digest but I don't have a copy of that either...same reason.
Then I was concerned that the cable people would not have a Cox card for my Tivo with them when they come on Friday. They operate out of Pittsburg, Kansas, nowadays since they closed their Coffeyville office several years ago. That's the nearest office. That's at least 60 miles away. It's extremely difficult to contact them without dealing with complete incompetence. I had a terrible time just trying to arrange for an installation. I told them I also will need the cable in that den room so I can stream my Amazon Prime. So, I am up at 4:00AM again.
Today, I have to bake my cake and ice it. Phyllis and Bob will be bringing me theirs and I should remind Karan it is our cake week. She usually forgets...especially since we didn't have church yesterday and had no bulletin to remind her.
I see we are under a wind advisory again until 9:00PM this evening. Just what I need...more wind. I also need to contact the City of Coffeyville about taking my name off the electric bill on Friday. I need to do that tomorrow too. Lots of things to take care of when you move...especially in today's world of incompetence.
And, I almost forgot...today is Martin Luther King Day and everything will be closed. I will have to do all of this tomorrow. And tomorrow I have a hair appointment at 9:00AM, cakes to deliver in Independence after that as well as a dental appointment back here in Coffeyville, at 11:00AM. That will be quite a trick.
I missed the Large moon last night since I went to bed early but one of my blogging friends didn't. Here is her photo of it. It is called a Super Blood Wolf Moon if I recall correctly.
Really unusual, isn't it? More later...
I have the cake baked and cooling to be iced. Tomorrow will be tricky. I will leave for the beauty shop at 8:45AM, get out at 9:30AM and go straight to Independence to deliver the cakes and then right back to the dentist at 11:00AM.
I don't know if I will get over to Caney twice today or not...depends on whether I can get some more boxes at Steve's. He is open today but not until 10:00AM. I asked yesterday. I could take my fall/winter clothing over first and early..like after daylight at 7:30PM..except for what I will wear the rest of the week. I also need to take my vests and coats. That may be all I can take. I still have tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday to finish taking the little bit of boxed stuff. We move the furniture on Thursday. It will be close.
More even later...
I took a load of clothes and coats over at 8:00AM this morning and put them away. Now I am ready to load up another load of clothes. I hope to get the rest of them over there and hung in the closets. I will see if I can get another box in the front seat too. Bob's Celebration of Life cards and stuff is in the trunk but I need to label it.
So more even later...
I made another trip over to Caney and unloaded clothes and coats. I brought some things back here to donate to the Presbyterian church thrift shop. Bob contacted me about being free for lunch and I contacted him and agreed to eat with him and we went to El Pueblito and had lunch. Joanne had company. A niece came down from Independence to visit her. She gave him permission to call me for lunch. :) I picked him up when I got back to town.
After I took him home, I iced my cake and then called Phyllis and she brought hers over. Karan is working on hers now. Bob will do his later this evening. I need to go over to Steve's and get some more boxes for the last minute stuff. I'll get back to this later...Karan brought her cake and I did get some more boxes and I ended up going back over to Caney with another load of clothing. All I have here now are the clothes I will wear tomorrow,Wednesday and Thursday.
I ate a bowl of ice cream for supper and watched some TV. At 7:00PM, I took my bath and got ready for bed. I went to bed at 9:00PM. I was exhausted. The wind blew hard every time I drove over to Caney.
