Tuesday, November 17th, 10:13pm

The house inspection went very well. I think the biggest issue was possible water pooling under the water heater from the vent line from the ac/furnace. No biggie.

Visited Ken this evening and was able to determine that he has had a level 10 headache for about 3 days now. The percocet has not been working. Sometimes, Ken forgets to say 'not' or 'don't' or "didn't" when he speaks, so messages can be misunderstood. The staff thought he was saying, "The percocet is working" but he meant to be saying, "The percocet is NOT working".

They have put him on Dilaudid which I think is like morphine in pill form. I'm a bit scared of this, but really want his pain to go away.

In other news, I am super stressed. Seriously, there really are not enough hours to get things done.

I HAVE to have internet at the house this weekend so that I can get caught up on work, and COX can come out on Saturday the 21st, but they want $129.99 to reconnect the service. Verizon FiOS will give me free installation, but can't get there until the 27th.

OH! And Virginia Dominion Power says that the circuit breakers have to be turned off on Friday morning so they can get a final reading for the sellers before they turn my service on. We have the pre-assessment whatever walk-through on Friday at 2:30pm. I sure hope we have power!

I haven't even started on Gas and Water.

Ken is getting out on Saturday at 1pm. So from Friday at 6:30pm when I get the keys to Saturday at 1pm when I have to pick up Ken, I have to do the following:

Friday night, I plan to take the dogs and all their stuff (food, bowls, towels, leashes, etc) and the cat and all her crap over to the house, and spend the night there with an overnight bag.

Saturday morning, I have to be back at Farmington Drive to meet the movers at 8am so they can move the bed, sofa, night table, and a few other items so that when Ken gets there, he can sleep or watch TV or whatever.

Then I have to go to Mount Vernon to get Ken at 1pm.

Then on Sunday morning, I have to meet the movers at Farmington Drive again to move the rest of the house over to the new house. I'll have to have someone sit with Ken because he can't be left alone.

OH, and almost NOTHING is packed.

OH, and I have to find time to take the POD apart so it can be moved.

Okay, I'm gonna have to ask for help. I just don't know what to tell the help to do.

    Good grief!! You are stressed and I can understand why!! Wish I were closer to help you out. I know how hard it is to have no one to depend on close.
    You can only do so much or else you're gonna get down and that won't do you or Ken any good. Try to take one thing at a time and just depend on God to do the rest. I know, coming from me this probably sounds really odd, but just try it. It does work.
    I know that things will settle down for you both and everything is going to get back to normal and you'll look back on all of this and wonder how you never killed anyone!!!
    I love ya

    Actually, I TOTALLY forgot I asked you all to help!!

    Do you think you could meet me at the house on Farmington Drive at 6pm tomorrow evening? Then, could you all follow me to the new house with one of you driving Ken's Camry?

    I've got to get my head checked out! I can't believe I forgot you all offered! No more gin after 8pm! :)

    Let me know what you think.
    Thanks,
    Todd
