May I do start this thread two days in a row? Can't help it if I am a night owl!
Busy, busy day - got home yesterday from St. Albert/family gathering - great times - back to this condo that we are trying to sell - our realtor tells us that there is a woman coming any day now (we recognize this as being the carrot that dangles in front of the donkey) whose children have already scoped out our condo and are telling her this is "the place", but of course she would want to look at it herself....means the place must be spotless at all times in case today is "the day".....
So spent the day absolutely scouring this place from top to bottom, also started clearing junk out of closets, and begun the "sorting" - this to take - this to junk - etc. Our son moves on Jan 3rd, and is moving into a townhouse w garage, and we are moving out of a place w a garage into one w underground parking - So - he is getting a lot of bogus stuff from us!!!! (Lawnmower, industrial tool box, etc....) which is actually a help to us, because WTF (scuse me) would we do with it in an apartment style condo?
My parents, whom we told on Christmas Day that we were moving back into their "turf" were absolutely estatic - made my day - it had been really hard to keep this a secret from them the last few months - but the looks on their faces made it all worthwhile!!!!!!
So I will be 5 minutes from my sister, Wendy in one direction, and about 6 or 7 from my folks in the other. I haven't lived less than a 2 1/2 hour drive from them for 29 years - so this will be incredible - my sister lost her husband this October to cancer, and my parents are elderly - so it means a lot to me to be able to be close by now.
But enough about me - how are you all? It's been a little quiet around the Inn - as you all come back and check in again after the holiday, be sure to let us know how you are doing, won't you? Remember that our spa is open 24/7 for those of you who are feeling the stress that often comes along with the travelling, or even the being with family. We are glad to see you back, and your bed is turned down and lavender has been sprayed on the pillows.
Suze has provided us with an enormous assortment of her famous "Al bashing sticks", so please help yourself. If you have succummed to temptation over the holidays - well, tommorow is a new day. Soon, it will be a new year. Resolve now that it will be a year in which you will be strong, aned reenergized, and it will be a year of sobriety and health. It's all about you, and your determination.
I have set a resolution for myself that I am going to attempt a full year AF. Do I think I can do it? Dunno. But will try. I know with the support of all my friends here, I jsut may succeed.
Onwards and upwards! Wahoo!!!
