Day Five

Tuesday I had the truck loaded and said my good byes to my grand babies and my children. It feels so strange to be leaving, but I really don't have another viable option. Lunch with Billy was wonderful, I wish we'd had more time. I wanted to do more grocery shopping than I did, but there was nothing that I could do about that either. Time just got away from me. I was hoping for an early night so that I could get on the road early, but that didn't really happen either.

Morning came way too early. Finish the last of the packing and get the cats loaded. I was so nervous about them, but they seemed to settle right away. And so Wednesday say me on the road to my new life, the one that was waiting for me. I've learned my lesson about trying to save money with a Budget truck over UHaul. It was awful trying to find diseal fuel and the prices were so high, not to mention that the truck uses so much gas. I'm pretty sure what I saved was used up on that gas and certainly in the discomfort. After 15 hours on the road I was just happy to have a bed to sleep in. Granola bars for dinner and call it a night. Sleep came easy. The cats were so glad to be free of their cages and they had a great time exploring and getting used to our new home. This is all there is for now. I need to understand that. All the way through
