A Day of Preparation

Day 220:

Today was a day of preparation in so far as getting the house ready for sale, Boy'O.  A busy day for me and a day of leisure for Mommy and you.  An early morning gave way to a productive day in that I was able to get started on a couple of projects to get things organized, tidy, and showing well.

After a late breakfast and some discussion about how to space this day of projects out, off you and Mommy went to Clarksburg, MD to visit with Ms Marsha and her family while I got busy knocking out the house stuff.  It was a bit of a blessing even if I was missing you, Son.  Specifically because I didn't have to worry about you; didn't have to check on you, feed you, or PLAY with you!  (Truly my favorite thing to do!)  So, with no distraction I got to it, Son.  Cleaned out the bar, the family room, the back room, the garage.  I did yard work in the rain, arranged the garage, loaded our truck with all the stuff to get into storage and all the stuff to drop off to friends...  And so off I went.

One destination after another, I pulled in, dropped off, arranged, and headed off to the next place.  Storage facility, Goodwill, Harley Davidson, and finally home.  When you work at a frenetic pace you feel two things; energized in your efforts and exhausted when you're done.  And that's where I am now, Son.  Exhausted...  But, all things considered I'm feeling pretty good!  And now that I have a whiskey in my hand and good friends by my side, it looks as though it's going to shape up into a nice quiet Saturday evening.  Some dinner with Mommy and Uncle Paul and Aunt Jennifer, a couple of ice cold cocktails, and maybe even some sweet dreams in regard to your new house.

And with that, it's off to enjoy the night, Son.  And you as well!  'Cuz you know I'll never be to far away...

I love you, Conor.
