Slow Going

Getting into things after one goes south or goes north is always a challenge for me and this time it is true for sure.  We pretty much got everything out of the car last Saturday after we arrived but the den now, Thursday, is one big pile of stuff!  We have gotten some things done like planting the small garden, mowing the lawn, putting in one air conditioner, putting a rabbit fence around the garden and more but still my list of "what to do" is way way too long!
I sit in the den by the computer each morning as I look at e-mail and pay bills and what I see up and down the street is often interesting!!!  Yesterday a young man, who lives across the street, drove up about 7:00.  He sat in the car for some time and I thought that was strange.  When he got out he was holding things around his waist but I could see he had NO pants or underpants on.  What the heck would that be about?
I have told myself this morning that I have to get some things put away so will try my best.  Putting them away actually is the easy part it is often more difficult to decide where things go.
We purchased an Apple computer a couple of days ago.  My goal is to have a desk top in St. Paul and in Naples and just carry an external hard drive back and forth.  Some friends from WI do that so I should be able to do the same.  I actually tend to get things done on the computer that I want but the way I go about it is often not the best.
I went to men's group last night for the first time since October when we left.  I discovered two things at least.  One was I am the oldest in the group by many years!  An example came to mind when Mike was sharing.  He is into computer kinds of work.  In what he does he said the average length of employment is 9 months for a variety of reasons.  Here I sat and thought about having two jobs in my life.  The first for 8 years and the second for 30 years and never in my life did I ever interview for a job!  We certainly live in a different world today.
It is June first today and in two weeks it will be 10 years since I walked out the door at Highland Junior, after 30 years, never to enter the school again.  In those 10 years so so much has changed in my life as well as everyone in my family.  Like I often say the only two things in life that are certain is CHANGE and death at some point.  I suppose I could add taxes to that short list.
No my FP is at the bottom of the cup so it is time to sign off.  I am hoping that Terry and I can get to Costco today and then pick up the pickup that has been stored all winter.  I think I am getting closer to saying good-bye to the pickup.  I really like to have it but really it is not used that much and it seems to me that making life more simple needs to happen at some point.
