Gosh but we've been busy. We did find a speech and physical therapist closer to the house so that cuts our drive time by 45 minutes each way. Can't complain about that.
Next week he does the therapy thing twice and then we are up to Owensboro (an hour and 15 minutes away) twice. I think it's pretty much going to be this way thru the end of the month. Lots of testing going on to see if he has some neurologic loss as well as the physical loss.
I put a post of Craig's list about all our Mazda Miata parts (don't even go there). I refuse to move them again. We've had a few young men come out and climb over all the stuff and actually buy some stuff. Wow. I am beginning to see my barn floor. Who knew it was concrete? I have someone coming out today, as well. He just wants to climb around and look at what we have (he has no idea what a Miata pickers paradise he is coming to). I will be so happy if we can downsize some of that car stuff.
And I've been cleaning out closets and attic space, as well. Luckily a friend of ours is a high school teacher. He takes all our stuff and puts it on a table outside of his office. He says sometimes he can't even get into the building before the kids want to see what he has brought that day. LOL
We are checking off items on our list of things to do before we can officially list our house. Hubby is putting permanent power to our barn. WOW. No more extension cord running thru the yard. What's with that?? And it's big, too, like 40 something by 60 something. Gonna need a lot of lights. Our little barn will remain as is. The only thing that has ever been in it is the bush hog for the tractor. Sorta overkill to have a whole barn for that thing.
I have a friend who has requested I quilt a vintage top for him. I have been taking it to all our doctor appointments because you know how they make you wait. Surprisingly I have quilted a fair amount. He wants it finished by the 24th. Um.....we'll see on that.
I had a contractor come over to give me a quote on putting a closet in our study to make it a legal bedroom. He asked me where we were going. I had to tell him that I couldn't tell him. He asked if it was a secret. I said we just didn't know. I said as soon as we knew, we'd pass on the information to him. LOL (I think he was initially offended, to tell you the truth).
Speech therapist said hubby must concentrate on speaking loudly. His voice has gotten softer and softer because of the Parkinsen's. She said if he didn't be proactive about it, his voice would get worse and worse and then no one could hear him. So now he takes a deep breath and yells. I actually have to tell him to tone it down. LOL Instead of a hearing aid to hear him, I may need ear plugs now. LOL
That's all our news. They did show our house once although it isn't officially listed. The guy liked it (DUH). He was here quite a while and took a ton of pictures (especially of my kitchen). I have a kitchen to die for. Really. I took one look at it when we were looking and I said I'd take the house. Didn't even need to see the rest. I've had friends come over and drool over it. It is THAT awesome. He said he'd have to show his wife the pictures.
So we move on with this latest adventure. Where it is leading us, I honestly cannot say.
Oh, and Ricky the attack rooster comes with the house. I'm not going in there to get him. I value my life too much.
