We still have so much to do and it seems overwhelming. Sometimes I don't know where to start and progress seems to too slow. 24 hours a day are not enough. Tom is now home all day and can nibble away on his and my to-do list. Help is always hard to come by especially when it is about making decisions on very personal belongings. I'm not very attached to material goods; Tom on the other hand has a hard time letting go of "stuff".
I'm starting to get a little worried about the timing but I have to stay positive that it will all get done. Stress levels are high and the fact that I lost about 3 weeks due to some nasty respiratory bug didn't help matters.
Meanwhile our new camera has arrived and we will be able to provide wonderful photos from all the destinations on our list. We decided on a Nikon - D5200 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens. So far we really like the test photos we've taken.
Our tickets for the transatlantic crossing with Cunard are secured and my evening gowns for the formal nights on board are on order. Suitcases are also ready to be packed and our wardrobe has been reduced to the absolute minimum.
The storage unit is slowly filling with important paperwork and a lifetime of pictures. Last weekend we emptied the attic - what an accomplishment. It's amazing what you find after 15 years. Now it's time to gather tools and see how many Phillips screwdrivers and speed squares, ratchets and hammers we accumulated. That should be interesting, LOL. Hopefully the snow and ice melts fast so that we can approach the garage. That thought is pretty daunting.
Today is another landmark day for me. I am officially retired now and have a lot more time to push forward.
