For the Joy of the Journey

I had the day off from work yesterday but I’m back in the saddle today. It continues to be an interesting and rewarding experience. It is strange to be looking forward to a “three day weekend”.

We are continuing the process of selling and purchasing homes, getting ready to move, discovering all the small, but important things, that need to be done. For example, internet providers, phone service, all of the address revisions, bank accounts, and the list goes on.

I am in the process of notifying everyone that my main e-mail address is changing to george@georgeezell.com from geze@insightbb.com. The new e-mail address is active so you can go ahead and  change your address book. I’m going to try AT&T laptop broadband connection for the internet and if that works out we will probably drop our land line telephone and just use our cell phones. We would be getting a new number anyway, so it seems like a good time to make the change.

 We are in the midst of getting prices for work we want to do on our new house. That is fun and I look forward to “fluffing our nest”.

Ann’s surgery was successful. They removed what was described as a large cell tumor (benign). She will see the doctor in 2 weeks. I expect she will be limited for a day or so and then she can do what ever she is able with a bandaged finger. I am trying hard to be a good nurse. It is good thing I have a self-sufficient patient.

This evening after I went for a run I went outside and sat on the backyard swing to cool off.  As I sat there I noticed a skunk waddling my way from two houses down. I sat quietly and he/she came right up to where I was sitting. He was three feet away and never let on if he saw me. He continued to graze around the yard until I made some noises and he scampered off into the bushes next door. My neighbor next door has put out some repellent to keep skunks out of his yard. I guess it must be working because the skunk walked though his yard and didn’t stop.

Is there no safe place?
