Saturday May 30th 2026

Went to sleep at 1 AM and woke up at 6 AM. Have had my coffee, but as I sit here my brain threatens to slide back. into sleep mode. Woke up in a ball of sweat again. 93% humidity. Later on I plan to continue gathering things for "The Move". Meanwhile I better get some more coffee, because I have already dozed into the 8 o'clock hour.

Did send a long email to the sibs last night, but I haven't checked my inbox yet to see if I have rec'd any responses.

Good evening.

Dianah, hope you got some rest and sleep better tonight.

Stars, good luck with everything.

Joe, hope you had a good trip.

I survived three 12 hour shifts. Thankfully a nurse signed up for an overtime bonus today and we were fully staffed but for PCTs as they pulled one to float. Annoying. Tomorrow remains a challenge but I need a break and can't do another overtime shift tomorrow.

Otherwise I'm off three days and have no real plans.

I did hear from my friends in Florida; they sent me photos of their house (it's big!) and photos of the room that will be mine. They said it is fine to have the furniture from that room stored in their garage and a storage space they cleaned out. That way I can have MY bed and MY furniture in my room. I will have my own bathroom, and a good size closet. And the cat awaits! Wonder how Tinker will be about that? It already lives there, and my friend said the cat is not impressed by dogs, so maybe it will not be too difficult, and Tinker will eventually be able to deal with their dog and the cat, because she has actually will have no choice!

I still have to figure out how to go about getting a bank there so I can have my Soc Sec transferred to that bank. They may have the bank I already use here, down there, but I don't know exactly where it is ...... or how to go about all the necessary changes without being there. So I will have to talk with the bank and SS here, before I go. And I may end up moving a little earlier than the 10th of July so I can take care of bizness! (rolling my eyes). I don't have anyone to help me figure out how to do all this sequentially so that I don't end up going Bankless and SocSec-less for any longer than I have to. It has to happen in such a short period of time. But it will all work out.....🙃🤪

I got the 4 boxes of photos thinned down to just two boxes now, and I am gathering things I won't have to use while I am still here, so I can get as much packed as I can. I will have to rent the POD so I can pack it all a little at a time. Fortunately the BiL and SiL will be leaving for a weeks vacation some-time tomorrow and at least THEY won't be in my way for a week!

Anyway, I am psyched to be moving somewhere where there are people I know, and who are not mentally deficient like Nannie or as dull as my in-laws are. I am ready for a new and different life!
