Booming Banter

It would seem that the new routine means we rise at 4:30.

Friday it was to draw scale plans to place furniture and pack the car with a load of dishes.

This morning it is to make sausage rolls for Victorian Christmas.

I believe Ma may be contemplating moving all by her Todd Sloan to Bermuda and forsaking all contacts at this side of the Atlantic.

She is overwrought by an excess of books, dishes and furniture. This move is going to be like Alice going down that rabbit hole.

I’m past giving advice as she will take it from no one. Currently her modus operandi that surfaces under such stress is that everyone must follow her orders. If this does not happen she has a melt down that is not pretty.

To say I’m under pressure is an understatement.

Must rush as have been told to hurry up and get your pee done!!

Precious Peeps it’s your one and only Princess here to wing you into a wonderful weekend.

Only this weekend and next until the BIG man in the red suit comes our way.

I have written to him to let him know of my upcoming change of address.

In addition to Nylas I’m hoping for some very special gifts since I’ve been a very very very good girl all year.

In particular, and despite the nasty things he says about me I have left the stinking Gizzard’s jugular intact.

He doesn’t fully understand that at just one fell swoop I could take him into the midst of the angelic throng.

Oh well not to worry Santa knows all that and that I’m so sweet and kind and beset with beauty.

Be like me. Ignore anyone who speaks ill of you and focus on fun. Maybe go dancing or have a little fizz like Granny or just hang loose and let the wonder of the season bring a little spice to your life.

Love you all and we will talk next week on the humpty.

I thought it was important to put things into perspective.

This photo says it all.

Never in the history of this community has there been so much produced by so few!

Sometimes a big heap of crap calls for a bigger bag than usual.

That’s all I have to say on this matter except it is most definitely fortunate that it doesn’t smell like the niece’s!

Precious Peeps it Pits PERFECT here to help you over this remarkable Humpty.

Yesterday Dad and Granny managed to almost fill the dumpster in just one day.

Granny could hardly move let alone cook so she dispatched Dad to get Chinese. He got us some kibble while he was out too.

It’s remarkable how hungry all this moving makes some people Granny clean wolfed down her spicy Hunan beef.

As for for me I’m happy as can be as always but this has completely knocked the stinking Gizz’s appetite for six.

For the past three days he’s hardly touched his food which means Grandpa keeps piling on the cheese and salami to entice him to eat.

The result is I end up getting all the goodies.

Huffing and puffing is of absolutely no use to man nor beast. All it does is turn you into a great big piece of fluff.

Be like me take every bite of life with a pinch of salt or soy sauce as the case may be.

Gotta run now as Granny is keen to get going again. Will talk Friday in the meantime know that I love you almost as much as sweet and sour!

The Bro and Ma went to the basement yesterday to clear out all the toys and Lego that had been left untouched for years.

They also opened moving boxes that had been in there since 2010.

Some of these boxes contained other boxes that had been packed in 2001 when Ma and Pa moved from Connecticut to China!

This garbage really was world class travelled!!!

They filled so many trash bags full of junk that Ma bit the bullet and ordered a dumpster.

You know she is very hot on the recycling but there is a time and a place to throw in the towel and she reached it.

Last night we got a text from the provider saying “Get ready tomorrow is no ordinary day it’s DUMPSTER DAY”

It was like we were about to embark on a great vacation or receive a gift of immense value!

Somehow though Ma is elated. This clear out is as epic as climbing Everest.

It’s almost like a competition we have three days to get this thing done so gotta get going.

Yesterday we rested and it was good.

After our nap and trot we watched a movie about Bob Dylan called “A Complete Unknown”.

He writes from the heart that dude.

I kept the niece quiet as I could so Ma could listen to his lyrics. The duets with Joan Bias gave her goosebumps!

Dad wasn’t exactly taken by the tale he read his book but me and Ma enjoyed.

If you get a chance see if you like it. Great sixties vibes and lots of nostalgic New York.

We gotta get going now because it’s Monday and we have a full schedule but Sunday gave us strength.

We are a bit late as we managed to sleep better.

Ma emptied yet another cupboard yesterday which leaves only the wardrobes that will be relatively easy as you don’t need to box up clothes.

Last night she went to the cupboard to get out her candle lighter.

It was the only thing left in there so she said to me “Scooby get over here and look at this it’s empty and I’m just like Old Mother Hubbard“

Don’t you give me that rhyming nonsense I thought I know you’re old and I also know you keep my Milk Bones in the pantry not in there so dish them up Mother.

Blessing#2613-Dog Bones

Between a full moon and a mad mother I’m just about ready to pack my bag like a wise man and head off.

Do you know that when she woke up at midnight this morning she was still awake at two googling “living room layouts” and playing her stupid video over and over of the new ranch.

The old gal needs to sleep and stop this nonsense otherwise she is going to go stir crazy. I’m afraid men in white coats may show up!

When I tenderly advise her to chill out she tells me in no uncertain terms that she wants to but she can’t.

She says she knows she’d be more effective if she had a good sleep but right now this obsession with objects is overwhelming.

Does anyone have a stable they’d rent me.

Blessing#2612-Moving On

Precious Peeps it’s PITS PERFECT here to wing you into a winter wonderland weekend.

This house moving takes its toll even on the wrinkle free like me.

Yesterday we had the appraisal done by the mortgage company of the buyers.

This meant me and the Grey Gizz had to get off side for an hour. Dad took us for a long trot. We’d already had one with Granny in the morning so I was beat by the time we got back.

It’s as cold as the artic here and hard on the tootsie but it sure is warm when you get back inside.

It makes you want to pass out and that’s what Dad and me did.

Grandpa and the Gizz continued shredding paper. It’s become a sort of white noise in the house and one I must say that I’m not so fond of but heh ho what to do.

Be like me and when things get on your nerves zone out. A good shut eye will be wonderful for your body, mind and soul and is guaranteed to make you more beautiful.

I’m planning on plenty more of this very gratifying therapy over the weekend. It’s way too cold to do any more walking than is absolutely essential.

I trust y’all stay snug and follow my advice.

Love you and we’ll talk on the humpty.
