Until our PODS come on Jan. 6, I’ll be living in an unfurnished house with a dog, the Internet, the stuff we brought in our car, no job, and no cable or rabbit-ear TV.
Unfurnished House: Day 1
Unfurnished House: Day 2
Unfurnished House: Day 3
Unfurnished House: Day 4
Day 5: Friday, January 2, 2009
Got up at 6 a.m. with John. Checked the weather online. Supposed to rain today. Supposed to rain on the day we unload the POD next week. Went back to bed.
Wake up again at 8:30 to pounding. Wonder if someone is in the house. Darra is on alert but not barking, so it can’t be a dangerous situation. Wonder where noise is coming from. Possibly from next door. Pounding nails and hanging pictures at this hour?
Take Darra outside. Eat breakfast. Think about what needs to get done today, like the kitchen, which I deliberately didn’t clean up yesterday so I’d have something to do today.
Waste time on internet.
Work on my sister’s resume.
Post to blog. Waste more time on internet.
Go downstairs to get something. Lie on floor, stare at ceiling. Darra whines to go outside, but it’s muddy in the backyard.
Eat lunch and watch more episodes of Reba.
Spend half the afternoon writing a review of the book Forsaken by James David Jordan.
John calls. Drive to bank to open new account.
Return home. Take Darra out for first time since this morning. (She never rang the bell.)
John gets the mail. Get several Christmas cards and newsletters from friends. Decide Christmastime is the best time of year to move – guaranteed mail from people you know.
Watch more episodes of Reba. Make dinner. Get craving for pudding. Or cake. Or ice cream. Mostly pudding though. Can’t have it. Can’t afford extras right now. As soon as the POD comes, and we unpack, I can make a smoothie and pour it into the push-up pop containers I bought a long time ago for frozen treats when I have an ice cream/dessert craving.
Watch episodes of Kitchen Nightmares. Both of us would really rather read, but there’s no comfortable place to lounge. John decides we should go to Starbucks or something tomorrow for couches to read on. Darra will just have to live with it for a few hours.
Go upstairs to read in bed.
