BUSH DIARY SEPTEMBER 1998:
9-4: Carla sent a rather cryptic email regarding Mom and her current illness. I called Mom and she had been hospitalized a couple of days for heart irregularity. After two days she is on a new medication and still feels lousy.
Also today Tim sent me a dozen roses, red and yellow and boy did they smell wonderful. Thank, you Darling Man! We had surprise cake and ice cream at 3 pm. yummy! That got scarfed up immediately there were no left overs.
Same day we got a poor tourista lady admitted. She participated in the blanket toss and missed the blanket and broke her leg in two places. Overheard the husband discussing arrangement on the phone and he was cancelling their trip to climb Denali. Oy!
Saturday 9-5: Will be McDonald's Day. The Alaska Airlines employees are having a fund raiser and are offering to bring Quarter pounders five bucks each, you reheat at your own peril. I am sure there will be many takers.
Labor day passed nicely.
09-16: We received the official NSB letter that we have until 10-4 to move. Got keys to new apartment in H building Apt 9. The apartment has brand new cream colored carpet. Ye Gawds. That should not hold up well after break up. We are losing a closet but gaining an outside door beside. Doorbell works unfortunately.
9-16: Got appraisal for Coquille house, pending dry rot inspection. Carolyn scheduled one for this evening. Hopefully bank will get report and we will hear from them Friday morning.
9-17: Damn, there IS dry rot and carpenter ant infestation. Carolyn emailed us that pest treatment will run about 300 dollars no estimate on dry rot repair or time line involved. So loan is approved pending repair/treatment.
In the meantime while it is raining, Tim and I are schlepping boxes of stuff from A building to H building. I almost have Tim talked into a yard sale!!
9-22: Today is Monica's birthday. Jinky ordered cake and ice cream and somehow we are supposed to surprise her. She is scheduled to fly to Wainwright at 5 pm so we will have to squeeze in very quickly. Trip was cancelled because the NSB Director did not want anyone going but the CEO of the hospital. Cool.
9-24: Went in to do census, begged Monica to go home and help move stuff. Tim had brought home the boxes we ordered from the PO and had rolled over three loads using a hand truck. Thank you!!! I took the opportunity to throw out lots of old boxes that were empty.
The other apartment is about ten per cent smaller and we are not moving all of the furniture. We are leaving the couch which is huge. We are taking the bed, four end tables and three lamps. Debating whether or not to leave the chest of drawers. Taking curtains from the bedroom. None fit the new living room.
9-25: NSB decided that our trip to national in New Orleans would be too close to Joint Commission so it was cancelled. That is just fine with me.
Permanent fund was announced. $1540.88. The fund is so big at 25 billion that the size of the check next year will NOT be effected by the market slump. The fund only had to make one billion to make payment.
I will probably trade my check for the Alaska Airlines offer of four trips outside of Alaska and one within Alaska. Still quite a bargain.
9-27: We are about 80% done moving. I set up the bookcase and metal shelving to hold the TV so we do not need the coffee table and that will stay in A building.
I have found a partial solution to the living room window. We found out quite by accident that the mirror hanging in the bedroom almost perfectly fills the living room window center pane. I set the mirror within the casing and used a bit of masking tape to secure it. I will take the front room curtains from A building and use them as side curtains in the living room window in H building. We have no cable yet but music is just fine.
I have jury duty Monday. I hope this doesn't take long they called in six jury groups.
9-28: Jury duty. I went in early to work and got the census completed. Still have to code a couple of charts. I was selected for the jury and executed by defense at peremptory challenge about 3:30 pm. I smiled toothily.
I went to A building and took down the curtains and threw them in the dry on fluff and knocked off a few years worth of dust but they came out fairly well. Got cable hooked up and it is working well. We have a lot of packed boxes in the new place. I am seriously thinking of just leaving them there to serve as room divider or art panel display. Kitty tower taken apart and put back into original box for shipping to Coquille. Next, clean old apartment. Cough, cough.
Good new: Carolyn emailed us that pest inspection and dry rot repairs had been completed. So hope to hear from bank, which means we will be able to book flights for closing.
I hate moving. My idea of moving is to sit imperiously somewhere and direct minions to carefully pack my treasures and port them miraculously to where I wish. I need help obviously.
Time to put a very long September to bed. G'night folks.
