Much Better

Justin and Jean worked unceasingly today to break down dozens of boxes (I need to count ’em) and place shelves and their contents against the walls of the garage.

It’ll be much easier for us to empty and sort the boxes that are left and to place furniture in the house.

Ryan and his coworker Bill came over to take down the awning and nail back the fascia board. He capped off the live electrical wires, which were my big worry.

The person who claimed to want the king bed finally punked out, to my relief.

I met the town Treasurer today. She sold me a transfer station sticker at the January price and a sheet of stickers for household trash. Very down to earth woman, helpful and friendly, welcome change.

Ron wasn’t able to open an account at the credit union, was lacking a social security card (huh?). He’s off to grocery shop.

Lizzie and I went for a brief walk this morning. I cleaned off the deck a bit to make it easier for her to get around. Got cold and dark this afternoon.

Made appointments with a vet and an electrician. Renewed registration for the truck. Ron deposited over $600 in refund checks to my credit union account.

Found no fewer than three Social Security cards for Ron in our strong box, thus saving him a trip to the nearest office for a replacement.
