A day away...

Well, tomorrow's the big day! We're finally moving into the new house! Yay! Yesterday, I camped out there to help out a little. We needed the water turned on to the house so that the carpet cleaners could come before we moved furniture over, so I napped on our twin air mattress on the kitchen floor (really the only floor that wasn't going to be cleaned) and waited for people to arrive. It happened that my social worker had scheduled a meeting with me for that day, so she got to see the new place, although it was a little weird conducting our interview in the kitchen with the air mattress on the floor. (To be honest, she was a little worried that I had spent the night like that, so I had to reassure her that Laurie would not neglect me like that :).) We tried several times get the water turned on, something about the water still flowing in the house, it was a little cryptic. Anyways, the water's on and the carpets are clean, I even made it to knitting/crochet night at East West Exchange to hang out for awhile. Then, I collapsed into bed.

In other news, Laurie's had a bit of a job change and her schedule is changing, too. Right now she works 10am to 9pm Monday to Thursday and it's now switching to 7:30am to 4:30 pm, 5 days a week. She is now officially "science teacher" and "assistant principal". It's going to be a rough fall, with work and her masters stuff but Laurie really likes the new woman at work that she'll be teaming up with. So all is happy, and very busy here :). Off to bed with me, I think Laurie's going to be last minute packing all night. The movers come at noon tomorrow.

Oh - We have an oblate friend who really needs prayers right now. She's just had surgery for ovarian cancer and is not doing well at all. The doctors give her a 20% chance of surviving 1-2 years, even with chemo and another surgery. She also had a stroke about a year ago. So, if you could keep her in your prayers, it would be appreciated.
