There I go, pushing the envelope again. I might be permanently in this state. I suppose we'll see.
We spent the morning working out the details of renting a house. It looks like it's going to happen. Tomorrow we make everything final, and then we can start moving in. It should be interesting. We don't have a lot here to move, at least, but we will have to eventually get some stuff up here from home or the place is going to look very bare. As it is, we're going to have to deal with the furniture situation, because we at least need some right off. We'll probably go deal with that this weekend so we can move in next week. We'll see how that goes.
This is one of those times that I'm grateful I can telecommute. It's very useful not to have to deal with things like Topaz has to. I don't have to go any further than the table to do what I need to do. I don't envy her returning to work since she'll be alone there again. It's got to be a little lonely. She does what she has to do, though. The kids need her, and she's going to be there for them. It's one of those things I really admire about her. I can't imagine how many kids would have had it so much worse if it weren't for her.
Mother's Day is almost here, and I need to take the kids out shopping soon for it. That should be quite a trip. It's always interesting to see what the kids pick for their mother. We'll probably go this weekend. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for dealing with taking Markez shopping. That's always an adventure. I might see if I can talk Mikel into going with us. With my knees the way they are, I sure as hell can't keep up with the kid, and he's always running off to do/see one thing or another. Even if I could keep up with him, I'd be reluctant to try since taking Rafiq out in public means I need to stick with him so he feels secure. Add Garnet to the mix and I'm not sure I could manage it alone even with my knees in top shape. It makes me want a nap just thinking about it.
I must be getting old.
