Closing in on departure

Wednesday reflected a bad night for Evelyn. For some reason she could not go to sleep until 2:30 again. We don’t have a lot of pressure on us and can’t understand what keeps us awake. She went to exercise anyway, and I continued to pack. I walked to the hall to get yesterday’s mail delivery. There was nothing of importance. I had called Waynesville yesterday and requested that they hold our mail until we get there. We will get some here until we leave next Tuesday. I called Paul to ask him to take me to the memorial service this afternoon, so they picked me up at 1:45. We had eaten lunch of some more leftovers that we are still trying to consume. I also asked the neighbor to take me in his truck to get Evelyn’s bicycle. I had loaded the Saturn and hated to unload it to put the bicycle in. It was much easier in the truck. The memorial service was a sharing of memories of the deceased, who will be buried in Wisconsin next week. Afterward was a reception to meet the family. We didn’t stay long and I was home by 3:30. Meanwhile Evelyn had gone to see the oncologist. She can’t have the spring mammogram until after the 5th for the insurance to pay for it. This means she will have to get one in NC and received a prescription from the doctor. We cleared the garden and ate the first cutting of Swiss chard along with some leftover gumbo. We walked to the house of the man whose golf cart we intend to buy but no one was home. We will buy it because it is painted in Purdue colors. We met his neighbors who have some Purdue paraphernalia they want to dispose of and they might bring it to our house. They also have a wishing well with a fern growing our of it. If we get it, we will eventually take it to NC. I think it might be too late to take it this year without reloading the trailer. We continued to pack until bedtime.
