OK, @TBoneTX, as you are mostly Texan you'll appreciate this.  

 

My son is full time National Guard in Jacksonville FL.  A helicopter outfit.  Last week they flew the helicopters out to California (Ft. Irwin) for their yearly training or jamboree or whatever.  He took several pictures along the way and texted them to me.  One great photo was captioned "UTEP and the border wall and Juarez.  Well I do know what UTEP is, but I really had no idea where in the state El Paso was.  Had to look it up on the map.  Never realized it was on the border.  And had no idea that's where the Sun Bowl was.

 

Guess it was easy navigation from Jacksonville.  Just follow I-10.

Thrilling Tuesday-on-Wednesday report, see man:

 

Decently zzz'd, much-needed man.

Miu was still dozing atop miu-tower when we initially lurched downstairs, quiescent miu man.

 

Went first with donation-drop, drop donation we man.

Got hardware-store boxes, go out for boxing we man.

Store later called to say that they had even more big boxes, will get them on Wednesday we man.

 

Free lunch was meat loaf, turkey noodle soup, mashed potatoes, peas, and sugar-free vanilla pudding, ingest we man.

Mama T-B.'s meal allocation has enough in it for us to lunch for free through month-end plus a din-din or two, well-fed and financially savvy we man.

 

Lady showed up to buy a recliner, see recliners she man.

She bought one after sitting in it for literally just Many seconds, easy sale man.

She even lifted it onto the flatbed dolly and wheeled it out herself, wow man.

 

Another lady bought the paper-shredder, small sale but a sale nevertheless man.

She expressed initial interest in the other recliner and the warsher but ultimately declined, polite she man.

 

We have people interested in the warsher/dryer and other items, interesting what people want man.

 

One lady (from Craigslist) wants to buy the dryer sight-unseen, no see she man.

Her husband would purportedly overnight a cashier's check to us for $Many00 more than list price, hmm man.

She wrote back to say that the check will now arrive on Monday, not overnight man.

We said that we can't wait that long, beginning to feel weird and sound complicated man.

She even "asked" that we remove the dryer as an active listing, we shall decide that man.

Just about willing to tell her to take a long walk off a short pier, give her very short rope hereafter we man.

 

Mama T-B. is miserable because Hospice didn't show up to give her a bath today as promised,  we man.

No one is helping her try to get out of bed, only 2 attempts in a full month man.  

She is also waffling about which clothes to save from her closet, time's elapsing man.

 

We also have to figure out how to move the spoken-for desk & bed headboard, maybe Ecu handyman man.

That option wouldn't occur till Sunday, sigh man.

We also need to make room for furniture-moves amidst boxes and scattered items on floor, Moving is Chaotic man.

 

We hosed ourself trying to lift a box of heavy framed pictures onto the flatbed dolly, ow ow ow OW OW man.

We should take bedtime HSM, already almost too late if it out-knocks us properly man.

 

Returned to our casa at Many (2+2) p.m., hurt-backing and sweaty we man.

Updated Nextdoor & Craigslist lists, conscientious we man.

Took <hourlong siesta, zzz we man.

 

Din-din was Tuna Glop*, ingest we man.

Scintillating Wednesday repartee, yawn man.

-------

Thrilling Wednesday report, see man:

 

Rarely have we awakened to such a needy, sociable miu, no man.

Miu greeted us at our bedroom door with a feather-roller in her mouth, blatant miu man.

We tossed feather-roller down the hall and miu energetically chased it, energetic miu man.

We tossed it downstairs to the halfpace, energetically chase miu man.

We tossed it all the way downstairs, energetically chase miu man.

Miu then lobbied for brushing, flop-on-floor miu man.

We had to comply, Service Me Daddy miu man man.

 

Miu remained the same during every interaction, interactive miu man.

Miu brought feather-roller, dropped it on bathmat, and crumpled bathmat in attack, we had nowhere to step onto man.

 

Free lunch was liver + onions, beef noodle soup, corn, fried okra, & sugar-free vanilla pudding, ingest we man.

We had work to do in emptying one of Mama T-B.'s desks, pending sale man.

Rarely have we seen a bigger conglomeration of obsolete records and scratch-paper, no man.  

We finally gave up and threw it into boxes, Many (2+1) loaded boxes man.

 

Customer (from Craigslist) showed up, si man.

He was a semiretired interior remodeler, and he had a good eye, good judge of items man.

He bought $Many00 worth of stuff, less than we wanted but we guess fair man.

He loaded the stuff onto his trailer himself, amazing for his age (Many years old) man.

One item was the table where we & Mini-B. invariably lunched courtesy of Mama T-B.,  man.

We now barely have anywhere to place anything except on the floor, we guess it's the goal man.

 

Had several sales no-shows and Many (2+1) Craigslist scammers using identical verbiage, get a life man.

 

Returned to our casa to retrieve Amazon return, then went to UPS Store with that + shredding*, shred we man.

     *on AAA discount, financially savvy we man

Had thorough, intense interactions with excited miu, see above man.

 

Din-din was at BK**, ingest we man.

     **WUOC, financially savvy we man.

 

We dearly wanted to zzz, siesta needed man.

However, Mama T-B. wanted/needed us, helpless senior she man man.

We spent 2 hours with her, poor thing man.   

There's nothing that we can do to help her, no and sigh man.

She wants her old crib vacated by July Many'st, fast approaching man.

And she resists allowing us to out-clear her packed clothes-racks,  man.

Like the tearful President Taft after his Many'rd-place defeat for re-election, "We don't see how we could have done differently than we have done," no man.

 

Returned to casa to shower, much-needed man.

Miu brought feather-roller into bathroom but did not crumple bathmat, merely vocal miu man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

We should probably out-clean Mama T-B.'s kitchen on Thursday, dining and under-sink items man.

We have arranged with Ecu handyman to help with stuff on Sunday, disassembly and moving stuff man.

And that was/is our thrilling Wednesday, report we man.
