Diane: Eight More Days Until We Leave

The past week is just a blur now. We moved most of our worldly contents into the garage and basement of our house. Said goodbye (for now) to the acreage and country living. For the next week we will live in the basement of our house in Okotoks until we go on the trip. Laura (my sister), Cam, and Alyssa live in the rest of the house. My poor lost son, Dylan, will live here for the rest of the year while going to U of C but for this week he is staying lots at Carolyn's house. So nice of him to help make more room while we try and organize chaos! The kids are snoring now on the sofa's in the rec room...all is just as we expected it...except for this darn cold I have now....well, may as well get it over before we go. We are slowly adjusting to a life of transient living!
During the last blurry week we also fit in our final Hepatitis and Japanese Encephilitis shots, many visits and meals shared with good friends and family. Rob's brother, Kevin came out to visit and we managed to get a turkey dinner at his dad's....early Thanksgiving. I was only a little sorry that I snuck downstairs and slept for two hours after supper...the brain wasn't firing completely and I was definitely not good company.
The next week may be a blur also but we'll be too excited to care. We still have organizing at the house which includes setting up Dylan so he can live in the nicely-finished-but-lacking-kitchen-facilities basement. We have trip shopping and packing to do yet. Unlock my phone...get portable power for the laptop...maybe....lot's and lot's.....hmmm, is it time for a nap yet?
