Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
It is totally amazing how soundly you can sleep when you have
been exposed to enormous amounts of fresh air. I managed to get out of bed just
before 8:00 this morning and it was only moments later that Kathy joined me in
the kitchen. Looking out the balcony door did nothing to lift our spirits as
the thick cloud cover and the large puddles in the parking lot were not too
encouraging. We figured we would just make use of the day by continuing our
packing.
Finishing our morning coffees at our computers we were
surprise when the phone rang shortly after 9:00. It was Dan the building
manager calling us to say a mistake had been made. Yesterday was Dan’s day off
so the Skyline Living Company had sent another local building manager over just to check
for phone messages and to be certain nothing was wrong at our building. Just as
she was about to leave a call came in inquiring about any vacancies. It was at
that same moment that she looked up on Dan’s bulletin board and noticed our
notice to leave so she booked an appointment for this morning. We told him the
place was a mess because of our packing so he rescheduled for this afternoon. Dan
apologized for the Glitch because the other manager thought we were leaving in
sixty days where we had actually
give ninety-five days notice and he
had planned on waiting a few weeks before showing our apartment.
Kathy doesn’t like anyone to see even a speck of dust in our
apartment so she immediately went into a panic cleaning mode. With some of the
medication she is on their side effects are that they may cause extreme hyper
tension. Needless to say our packing went to the back burner but when the young
family came to look over our apartment as a possible future home there wasn’t
any dust to be found. This was nearly as stressful as when we sold our homes
the only difference was we didn’t have to leave.
Minutes after they had left Kathy and I were again busy going
through things in the storage room. We managed a few piles of STUFF to donate, give away and things
to keep. By 4:00 when the rain had changed to a light drizzle we had filled the
truck with more boxes and containers and were on our way to Guardian
Storage to make another
deposit of belongings to keep in our Climate
Controlled Storage Unit. I reassembled a shelving unit that only an hour earlier
I’d disassembled at our apartment. This is definitely a puzzle that will take
time to put together so we can always find what we want and when we want it.
Hopefully tomorrow we’ll hear that our apartment had been
rented so that we can continue packing up undisturbed. That will make getting
ready for our Fulltiming Adventure
so much easier. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave
a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
It was too dreary today so
here you can find things and
STUFF at the Manatee Festival
in Crystal River, Florida.

I can't imagine anyone looking at an apartment that far ahead. I wouldn't have expected that either.
