MOVING ONWARD
I'm procrastinating again--I seem to do a lot of that--but actually after I wrote yesterday I did get a lot done. It felt good when I saw the pile of stuff that I mercilessly hauled to the street for this morning's pickup. Wish I could learn to toss sooner rather than later. Now I have to drive down the street to the Salvation Army to donate a trunkload of "stuff." I know that they will just love the array of things that I'm taking. Actually, I think I will add a few things to the cache today and then I'll feel like the trip is even more worthwhile.
My reward for a day well spent yesterday was a huge salad at Chili's last night with my mom and my friend, Marty. That was a nice ending to a busy day and I was able to kick back and relax before a good night's sleep. Maybe I would get going easier today if I knew there was a reward at the end of the day. The reward will just have to be a job well done, I suppose.
I have to be productive today because tomorrow I am expecting my son, John, for a visit. He is on vacation and I am delighted that he is coming to spend some time with his Mimi--my mom--and me. My kids really can light up my life in a way no other can. Don't know what I would do without them.
On a less delightful note, I have to call the termite man and see about getting my house tented. That is the process that is used here in the south to get rid of some kind of termite that you don't find in the north. The house is literally covered with a tent and something (a bomb or something) is set off inside that kills all of the little buggers. I've been told that they use something that sucks all of the oxygen out of the air and smothers everything. After a couple of days you can return and everything is o.k. to use. I'll find out all about it and be a few hundred dollars poorer. It happens to everyone sooner or later so it just goes with the territory. I'm hoping that this can be done while I am on vacation.
Over and out for today.

so this may sound like a stupid question but, are termites a problem only in the South?

No, we have them in the north as well, but there is also a kind down here that we don't have up north and you have to treat entirely different for them. I don't understand totally but the kind that are so destructive here, I'm told, you can't treat to prevent them--only after you have them. I will know more after I talk to the expert tomorrow, I hope.
