Here comes a busy 2019

[primsong]

What a crazy year coming up... I feel like a pack mule. I'm busy helping my son prep to move out this next week (hoorah, he finally managed to get a place! Or part of one. A room in a shared house anyway). It's just me and him to move stuff and the room is upstairs so hopefully that will go without too many mishaps.

I'm hosting not one but TWO bridal showers in Feb (one for relatives and then a tea for friends the following week) followed by...

The Wedding in March for my daughter and new son-in-law! With the three bridesmaids being a)in Japan b)working and super busy and c)incommunicado and living far away it means pretty much all of it lands on me. Again. Oogh.

The new couple then need to move from the coast back to the city area to be nearer to his base. Guess who's the main person available with a car to help out? Present!

On top of that, we finished all our loan approval stuff and are actively seeking a single-level house so I'll be moving and selling this house as well (please God, not during the wedding).

I'm looking forward to Autumn already because by then most of this stuff will over. :-p

Come autumn, you might need to leave the country so you can get a break. I know from personal experience that once you become the person who gets things done for other people, you never come to the time when the stuff is over! Have a great first part of the year as you plan weddings and move!

Isn't that the truth? X-D

[archersangel]

can you delay putting the house on the market until after the wedding?

[primsong]

At this point that is totally my plan, to delay if needed - if only for my sanity, haha! So much depends on when we find the new house, as I have to have somewhere to go first - so hopefully it won't even be an issue. This current house really shines in May/June when the yard goes crazy with flowers so I'm hoping we can get it on the market then.

I'm probably working myself up for nothing on some of it, stupid brain.

Best wishes for surviving this plethora of tasks.
Please remember to take time for yourself and encourage those young peole to support you as you are supportinjg them.

I miss my 2 storey house because "free exercise" but my knees have given up the ghost so wouldn't be able to go up & down stairs anyway. Hey Ho

[primsong]

You said it! One of my knees is already getting a bit squiffy so I want off the daily stairs now while I can still move the furniture.

So annoying having body parts that don't last as long as the rest of the package.
