Well, I'm finally all in at my new residence, and I'm loving it. But, I'm basically all out of energy now. So much so that each day, after moving just a few boxes into the rooms where the contents belong, exhaustion overtakes me again. With so much to be done at my home it will be till the end of summer before I can rest fully.
NO MORE MOVES FOR ME, PLEASE! Bro. Evans says I'll move 5, possibly 6 more times. Ugh! Counting the move I made when I retired in May 2010, this move is the sixth since then! Double-Ugh!! Why do I do it? I certainly hope there will be no reason for me to ever move again until I need to be carried out under a cover.
My gratitude for completing this move is due to Bro. Evans, Bro. Stromberg and his daughter, Katelyn, Bishop Bell, and Bro. Guccione who gave me a couple valuable hours on Saturday to move the heavy items. The 3 sets of Salina missionaries had helped me earlier in the week. They moved my washer and several boxes. Without this help, my move would not yet be completed. Sister Rhonda Brunner was so gracious to help box up things and clean and line my kitchen cupboards. And, last of all, and certainly always available to help me was my daughter, Jane.
I think it's time to soak in a hot-tub! And a massage, too! Something totally fun!!!

Summer 2014 is now past ... thankfully!
5 October 2014
I've moved...again...for what I hope to be the last in my lifetime. At least, until I'm no longer able to care for myself. However, I would consider it a great blessing if the Lord takes me out of this life before I become incapacitated.
I'm still struggling with a disorganized home. Oh, it functions well enough for the time I spend in it, but I hope to sometime or other have the ability to enjoy and share peace and creativity in my own environment.
Jane and Ben continue to fill my days with their schedules.
Ben enjoys Troop 19 scouting activities, having just had an overnight camping/merit badge event. He constantly talks about and plans camping.
Jane broke her left upper arm on September 14th, which has drastically interrupted her independence. After almost a month and no way to immobilize the arm, she is still having difficulty moving without great pain.
I'm now using a CPAP machine! I did not ever believe using one of these machines would help me, but I finally agreed to take a sleep test and, what do you know, I was sold. Having that air pumped deep into my lungs really felt good!
Next, is to do something about my weight! I've just discovered the meetings held in Salina for Overeaters Anonymous! I'll check it out!
