Big week

From our hike yesterday at Howard Buford Recreation Area

It rained overnight! The first rain after weeks of warm dry weather smells so good. We have the front door open, letting in the cool damp air as we drink our coffee here in the early morning, sitting in the living room of our old house.

Big week for the Randoms….

On Monday, Mrs. R had the chemo port in her upper chest removed after enduring it for over a year. It was a relatively minor procedure, requiring a local anesthetic to numb up the area. Two days later she’s still feeling a little sore there, but hopefully it will all be healed up soon.

During the next couple days, we’ll sign and close on the new house. On Friday we’ll get the keys. Movers and cleaners have been busy. Our real estate agent sent photos yesterday, and the place is looking quite ready to move into. Before we start living there, though, we’ll get the sewer repaired. That’s scheduled later this month and it will take a couple days. In the meantime, we’ll be moving stuff over in carloads, and we’ll get help from friends with trucks for bigger things. And THEN, with a newly fixed sewer, we can move ourselves and our cats over there and start living in our new house for real!

Sneak peek! Below are a couple of real estate photos of our new place from a few years ago.

  1. Wow, looks great, with real mid-century modern vibes! If you find you need an extra hand with your move, just let me know. Did the previous owners happen to leave the Le Corbusier chaise lounge behind because they knew you had an architect friend who would like to have one?!! (just kidding) :) And a "woo hoo" for Mrs. Random with another milestone now passed.
