Pressing Forward
Tropical Stariway to the top of Rainbow falls lookout Rain Bow Falls State Park Hilo Hawaii
We are pressing forward. It is starting to get on our nerves this moving thing. I had a night mare last night that the movers showed up and all they wanted to do was load the stuff not to pack it up. I woke up crying over it all.
Woody has turned into Wood and says nothing. Sometimes gets angry..."didnt you make the arrangements so why do you doubt it now?" Well cause this is Hawaii and for no good reason nothing ever seems to turn out the way its supposed to...
Well loose ends are comming together. From finally delivering the computer desk that was paid for last month and the guys have been dithering over it, to finding a buyer for my car and figuring our how we are going to have transportation the last week we are in residence. The biggest tourist week of the year will be in full swing and there are no hotel rooms and no rental cars available and its been booked up for months. I have a few more boxes to go through and a ton of shredding to do. I found things that I was sure didnt make it here so the mates are in consignment
We are considering buying 028 in Sarasota. The price has been agreed upon but there are a bunch of hoops to go through. Acceptance by the Community Council, Credit Approval (thats a joke they want us to show income of 4 times the space rent...like we dont have jobs people. Cash we got, but no income...) Then we have two cats and they say we can only have one. People in the park have a dozen but being the truthful people that we are we are telling the truth, and this could get us blackballed... no we wont do it if we cant have both Mak and Nani they are our lovebugs and stay together. This is the meaning of the Hawaiian word "Ohana" "Family" or "no one gets left behind"... The final hurdle is... you have to 55 and I am only 43. Woody is 56. I could get blackballed by a bunch of women who dont want a younger women in their midst. They should just say yes and know that I will have to wait 7 years to wear a red hat in the
Red Hat Society, and have to wear a pink one the only one in the room...sigh.... I guess I will just have to "grow up" into it... and let that be my punishment...
We are still fired up though about other opportunities. Things are slowed by the lack of a SOLD sign on our house. We showed it twice and we have feed back one one, the couple from Kauaii that were "dissapointed in the size of the master bath" and concerned "about that rental with all of the cars next door" Yes Mom and Dad Bandpeople strike again with yet another way to make our Hawaiian dream a nightmare. Now that they see the sign they are taking great pains to be obnoxious as ever and frankly next week I am filing a complaint on them. Just as soon as I move out, as retribution has been promised should I do anything.
I know that it will all come together eventually... March 31 no matter what!
I havent figured out how to blog from my mobile device. Still working on it. I know this works but I am just not doing something right.
