And now, week 3 of my moving to Florida Diary.
This week's subtitle is I Am Woman... I Can Do Anything!

8/15-8/18
Who knew there could be so much landscaping to do around this house. I only have a quarter acre! More weeding, planting and mulching. I continue to work my way around the house painting what needs to be touched up. I still don't like ladders but am finally getting the hang of being on one. The bathroom wall is finally done.
I still haven't received any more information from the realtor and will probably send another email to him on Thursday. I'm sure things are very hectic down there because of Charlie. I don't even know if they have power or an Internet connection at this point.
8/19
I finally finished the painting on the front of our house. There's a lot more to do but none should be as bad as the front work was. Pulled more things down from the attic and sorted them.
8/20
Decided we will replace the rug in our bedroom so I was off to pick out new carpeting. Spent the rest of a very humid day moving some of the furniture around to rip up the old rug.
8/21
Continued on with the rug removal. You can't believe how much junk collects under a wall to wall. Our floors here are cement and year's worth of traffic has caused the cement to break into minute particles the consistency of sand. I spent a long time sweeping and vacuuming it out. I wonder if rug ripping will ever be an Olympic event?
Blessedly the cold front finally moved through late in the day and chased all that soggy humidity out of here.
After emailing the realtor on Thursday, I continue to wait for a reply. I hope everything is OK and will probably try a phone call next week.
