Packing? What packing?

Ugh. The beat drums steadily on as DH and I try and get ready for this move. DH went for his biometrics appointment Saturday, and I guess the whole package will be sent off to the British consulate in NYC sometime this week. After that, the waiting game begins...

In the meantime we worked hard on the yard yesterday - trying to get it into somewhat reasonable shape. We had someone come by to look at the deck so that we could get some help getting the railings installed.... that's one summer project we're not going to be able to finish. Otherwise we mowed, weeded, and generally spruced up the yard.

Today we're working our way through 4!! years worth of papers that we've never bothered to sort through. Insane! The shredder has been working overtime.... even jamming to a complete stop for like 5 minutes until DH got all the junk out of it. We're not even close to done with that yet!

I guess during this week we'll concentrate on getting that kind of stuff done. Once it goes out in to the trash/recycling, we'll have a cleaner slate to start again from.

Oh, and just to top it all off, Henry had a dental cleaning on Friday. Poor guy had to have two teeth pulled, poor little guy. He just can't catch a break. They took the cats' blood for submission to the lab in Kansas for rabies testing for them to get into the UK, so there's that. Now Eliza got loose poopies again (just started yesterday). She got out into the yard for like 1 minute yesterday, and then the loose poopies started again last night. Coincidence? DH thinks so, I think not. Ugh.
