I had a late time getting going this morning....everytime I got up, I got dizzy.....decided to just sleep & take it easy until I felt better.....go figure....I didn't leave the motel until after 1pm. Now that's really lazy. They were really nice about it & didn't care about any check out time.....so that was really nice of them. I stayed at a travel lodge in Oklahoma. Not bad, but a bit buggy.....Glad they weren't in my bed.....lol.

I was very rested & relaxed when I left, so the drive went well. I guess I must have not been feeling well yesterday because I was very grumpy with Leo.....no patience lets me know that I was feeling a bit off.

He was behaving much better except he has some behavior problems when I leave him alone in the truck (or anywhere)....he gets even with me everytime. I stopped at a McDonalds to get something to eat & a cup of ice cream for him.....the bribbary didn't work. When I got back out to the truck, he had peed on the sleeping pad I had for him & pooped on the wicker picnic basket. Then when I got into the truck, he was so excited he tipped the ice cream & it got all over everything. What a stinker......teaching him manners is definitely a challenge to continue working on....I WILL WIN!!!!!!

With the late start, I was able to go until after midnight. All I need is an early start & about 6 hours of driving (450 more miles) & I will arrive at my farm.......yahoo!!!!!!! I am getting excited. If I get in early enough, I can take care of some business & make sure my internet is active so I can access it when I get there.

I am surprised at how well the truck actually handles. I finally got it set up to be comfortable & have everything within reach......just before the trip is over.....that's typical for me.

I can't wait to see what my house looks like after they installing all the new windows & doors (except for the front door). New rain gutters & the soffits are all wrapped so the wood is protected now from the weather. It had been painted a drab gray, & now it's a bright white, with green (historical green of the area) shutters. It won't look anything like the house I left.....how exciting!!!!!

I know that I will be able to round up some help with unloading the truck....probably will do everything that I can by myself & then get help to take care of what I can't do alone. I'm not great at asking for help...have always been very independent, but there are times when things just can't be done alone.....that's when I know to ask for help.

Wahoo.....The first leg of the move is almost over.....it really feels good to accomplish this,
