Where Does Time Go?

The days just sort of blend into each other - it's already the night before a Friday and a weekend and I just don't know how things move so quickly.

Moving when older is hard at times.  I feel constantly disoriented.  Things are out of place; I don't have everything I use to cook (for example) at my fingertips.  We've brought only what we need to survive to the town house but sometimes, we need something and then have to unravel where it might be?  And is it worth it to go find it or just get it again.  We really are trying not to buy stuff we know we have...but on occasion, we have to resort to that. 

A church key can opener (to create two pouring spouts on a can of evaporated milk, for example) is not here and we don't know where to look.  Obviously in one of many boxes labeled 'kitchen'...but there are a lot of those and they are in three places at the moment: original storage unit, new storage unit and the garage of the town house. 

The cats add to the craziness - constantly underfoot which translates into me watching everywhere I'm stepping and moving uber slowly.  They are sweet and fun but they are pains, too.  I had to scold Nala repeatedly today for opening up the kitchen cupboards and climbing in.  She can virtually any cupboard.  Really.  All day.  She got spritzed with water and a (slight) swat on her butt along with a firm "NO" - and bolted off upstairs.  Don't worry - she's forgiven me already and has come back.  But she is staying out of the cupboards so far. 

I am heading to Atlantis tomorrow for two nights - J. will come for a bit on Saturday to help me stake out machines.  (It's two casino wide jackpots between noon and 8PM).  At some point, I will need a restroom and food break and if I'm on a machine I want to stay on, J. helps with watching the machine for me.  The event also gives us two free buffets so we'll eat at Atlantis tomorrow night for sure - though if the event goes all the way until 8PM, we will very likely be eating separately. 

I'll pick up B. at the airport on Sunday and bring him to Carson City.  He's having a wonderful time in Banff and he's clearly really enjoying his first 'on his own' vacation.  Can't wait to see more pics and here more about his adventures. 

We had a dusting of snow on the hills around us last night and the dusting was still there late afternoon.  No more weather is expected until early next week and we're glad because hopefully, the roof will be sheeted and the windows will be installed on the new house before the really snowy weather commences this Winter.  J. went by the house and reported the family room had standing water on the floor.  The carpenter says they have a company that will come in and vacuum up all the water and dry it out.  Fingers crossed.

I peaked out the window first thing this morning fully expecting to see snow - but didn't.  Maybe tomorrow.
