Absolutely, tossing so much, and it takes everything out of me to get it to the dumpster. But mostly, she was suffereing out there, alone 15 hours a day without any company human nor feline nor canine, in an empty house without furniture, not even a tv to preoccupy her. Dad came home, helped cook and went to bed, they both said he was like a zombie last week (long days and 2 hour time change loss), will take awhile to adjust to. And we all know what it is like starting a new job stress. She's used to family engagement every night, not exhausted zombie Dad and no Mom. We tried speaker phone conversations but with all the tile, counters and hard floor it echoed and I could not understand them. It was stressing him too, not being able to be the Dad he's always been. I expect she'll be relayed to the state line before Wed (day my Mother's husband she knows as Grandpa and his band at the Senior Center one last time and sings with the band on stage), but like me, him and my Mom, all more concerned about her well being and she's great about sharing her feelings. We'll feel it out. Not sure if or when she'll see them again after we're moved out east omg. Yes I'm going to drive there to get her, pray I don't get pulled over. Emailed her church to see if someone attending Sunday services can meet me out hear, I can get her to a highway without risk to another parishioner, and pick her back there. So risky for me to drive with only and ID. Darm DMV and gov't hiring here, waiting for my road test since March 11th (13th? a long time regardless). OR, I can be a rebel and take her myself, risk being pulled over and not sure of the consequences, and it will ruin me that day and next, but it might just be the right thing to do.
I'm so stumped on what warm clothes to bring or toss! Do I pack our down jackets? Snow pants? Gloves? Scarfs/hats, themal underwear.
A guy from a moving van company in Cheyenne came today for an estimate. He said the minimum charge was for 3,000 lbs., so I might add some other dressers etc. if we are under weight. Then WWW said we'll hit 3,000lbs easy. Who knows! Selling my Blazer and his Army truck to a "neighbor". That should pay for most of the moving truck. Same neighbors are taking my chickens thank God.
Myrtle Beach area? No need for snow pants but it does get chilly there (30s) IME once you're acclimated to the warmer climate, 45 degrees will feel almost painfully cold though so hats and gloves may be nice to have on the cooler mornings.
I walked across a street in Stockton Cali in November decades ago. Thermometer was not that cold compared to Colo at the time but it was humid and foggy, breezy, and it froze my patuttie off! Realistically, my lifestyle is radically changed since then I won't have to go out in 45*. Man, I appreciate all of you offering common sense (not common to me since I've never lived in a warm state). Thank you, Much better idea of what clothes to pack for the moving van
