Coming up for air to thank you all again for your support!
I spent Monday weeding through all their clothes. They are reducing their closet space by half, so I got a bunch of skinny velvet hangers to save space. I also tossed out anything that was worn out or stained, which turned out to be about half of my mom's wardrobe and about a third of my dad's. I was amused, though, to see that they both have nicely color-coordinated mix-and-match wardrobes!
Yesterday the relocation company came and packed up the boxes while I filled half a dumpster with trash. Today the moving van picked everything up and I am waiting for the call that they are in my town so I can go over and help unpack. More unpacking and setting up tomorrow, then I will go get my mom and she will sleep there tomorrow night.
Meanwhile, we are trying to get my dad moved to a facility closer to here.
And in the middle of all this, I found out this morning that I screwed up and scheduled my Memorial Day getaway for a time when I am supposed to be on 24-hour phone duty for work! Argh! It will work out but it's been embarrassing and stressful! So I went out and did a little retail therapy and it was a nice break!
