City:
Car servicing (monday) took longer and I just drove to city, early enough to have a soup with R at Tim Horton's near the apt, where he was working. Then went dancing for 1.5 hours, leaving when they started a couples dance. We had a light super and an early sleep.

Tuesday I was still finishing the re-copy of tax forms. Then checking emails as I was going to visit friend in NYS. She gets up later than I but emailed that she was busy so we talked on phone and then I went to mail taxes and went to country. After a couple stops en route, I arrived at the mill and unloaded the car, sorted out food for two homes, checked stuff in studio, decided I did not feel like trimming mugs and wrapped them well to last to Friday.

Read and loaded the car; the writers' group was lively. Then back to city and R came home, tired and hungry at 9 but saying he needed to go back - after F fixes the (some sort of machine). It was close to midnight when F called but R, who had been half asleep for an hour said he would wait 'til morning. hurray! Bedtime!

This morning, after breakfast, finishing, folding and putting away two loads of laundry, dealing with emails - and unsubscribing a bunch! - I went for a detox bath about 11 am. It was a good one but did not wipe me out like last week so, after a bit of lunch, I was able to throw pots for a couple hours. Then I made a simple casserole and put it in the oven for when R comes home hungry. Now, the News.

Still too much time on computer. As energy level holds, I am impatient with it. Did find a neat glaze recipe today and I like to see what some people are posting on FB but it takes too long. Anticipating the move to the apt, I am sorting out and taking anything not really necessary down to the mill for storage; need to clear the house. We need to re-institute an area at mill for "things that are leaving". Delighted that R left the auction on Sunday without needing to bid on anything!

As much as I view "move" as a four letter word, it is a way to sort out life and see what can be gotten rid of. In this case, we will be moving to the apt while the house is reno'ed then back to the house - when it is eventually ready. A good time to separate the wheat from the chaff. Also a certain amount of exercise involved! I did gain 5 pounds, and feel it, so need to get back on the losing track.
