I sit here with my XS drink in hand, enjoying the sassafras root beer drink tickle my tongue. I really don't need the extra kick at this time of the morning, but what the heck, it sure tastes good. Almost considering a dive in the hot tub to feel the warm water but then I may never get back to bed. Will most likely hit the books to study before trying sleep again later.
Will try and post a bit a humor today since Andrea feels my first post was a bit serious but that is my personality. I can be all business one minute and then my sanguine side kicks in. The new item of events happened this weekend when the old frig decided it was time to quit. I didn't even realize this until my company made comments on the melting ice cubes. Lucky, we didn't have too much food in the old frig to worry about, the cold weather sufficed to provide the exact temperature to keep the goods cold until the new one arrived yesterday morning. More room that I imagined and it just fit, and I mean just. No longer can I prop the ironing board alongside the frig, it has now found a new home in the hall closet, less clutter I guess. But what do I do with the junk that used to live on top of the old frig. The dining room now looks like a college dorm room with junk piled high on the table with Sabrina's stuff and the leftovers from the items that used to inhabit the old frig space. Too lazy now to locate a new home for these often used items. Maybe this weekend we will find them a new place to live.
The frig has all the amenities one needs except for an egg tray. Never realized it was not there when I looked at it in the store, got it at Lowe's for a bargain price, nice stainless steel and glass racks inside with the french doors on top and double rack for the bottom freezer. All the frozen items still find themselves in the chest freezer, as we have not moved them to their new home as yet. The ice maker is a added plus on the outside of the door and takes up very little space on the inside for my everyday items. The veggie and fruit bins are huge and temp controlled, something I am not used to and now I am energy efficient. The whole house is being transformed to low energy needs to save $$$$ in electric. Got to save those pennies for retirement one day.
The old frig lies in the garage with yet more stuff from Sabrina's apartment, one could live out there now comfortably now, all the necessities except a couch. I was not planning on being transformed into a storage unit. Motorcycle and my items are at least accessible to get at thanks to Audra, who was gracious enough to reorganize the mess. At least we can walk around in there now.
The issue with the cars is another matter. No word yet as to the final fate of the S-10 truck that sits in Florence, SC in some guys front yard with Sabrina's high tech gas grill. For those of you unfamiliar with the events of the move from New Orleans to NC, please refer to posts by Sabrina on her blog "Another Chapter". The insurance company has yet to evaluate the damage caused by the U-Haul company to determine a total loss or need for only a new transmission. Either way, the truck has seen it's destiny and a buyer has already been found to handle the transaction. Sabrina meanwhile, is using the GG to get around. The Explorer now with over 190,000 miles is going strong, but in need of new tires. Got at least 70,000 miles on the currnt tires since getting them in RI and will not need snow tires this time. The Ford Ranger has a gas seal leak but as long as it is not full to the top, no gas leaks, so we will leave it alone. I could write a book just on car experiences I have had since my first days of driving. May do a humorous book one day just on that topic alone, I could write volumes. Car wash disasters, rolling down hills, engines catching on fire to name a few. This will be another post I am afraid.
The hum of the air filtration system is peaceful and I cherish the solitude it provides during these early hours of morning. I have a zillion things to do but love to just enjoy the quiet and reflect on the upcoming day. I am missing Kevin and our times to just sit and chat and reminisce together and plan our future together. It will not be long before we are reunited in Europe traveling the rail together to some unseen territories again. Europe has so much to offer in its history and ombience. This is truly living life at the fullest to watch the lights of the Vatican while sipping on cappichino and watching the locals gather on the street cafes at 2 am. Such memories of past I wish to relive in my mind.
As Andrea would put it, just another random thought and post, one of many to come. I am trying to post another lighter side of my life here, just for you Andi. Right now I am more reflective and enjoying the XS and root beer flavor singing on my tongue. Will go and study for a bit before retiring for a quick nap to start the "Dawn of a New Day". Peace.

You should write a book, I feel like I'm reading one when you describe stuff. I think I have an idea of where I get my writing ability from...probably not my spelling, this is and never will be my forta` (<--see what I mean, no dictionary in Tim's room). You should write the car wash story, that one always makes me smile, you tell it so well.
