Last Day

Distractions havenae been working well for this particular wait. My interest in outside potentials has been limited. I find myself wondering if I am still in the wait pattern I have been holding since my now middle aged sons were approaching their age of independence. For the sake of simplicity, I will mark the start of that wait as 2002 when the youngest graduated High School, but I was already feeling obsolete by then, as it should be. That gap between child and adult is not as sudden as a ceremony. Indeed, I find myself bracing for the proverbial bum's rush that was a well-established cliche in the family cycle by that 2002 graduation. It felt more appropriate when the children were physical children. A rush from middle-aged children feels even more daunting than a rush from siblings. Maybe just because of the proximity. It has been allot of years since I have experienced a sibling rush.

Whatever the evers of all those whats, this round of the housing wait is nearly over. The inspection/financial parts are done and tomorrow morning is the closing. If all the ifs come into alignment, I will be transferring utility accounts shortly thereafter. It is possible I will be setting up the camp equipment there tomorrow afternoon. Maybe I will give Boy Toy his long overdue bath, also. His hold hasnae been completely empty since we left Texas in March. For political reasons, he was dirtier than I typically let my vehicles get when we left. Technically, he is still not my vehicle.

Hubs is flying in for a visit on the 6th. He wanted to drive, but only has a week off from work.That doesn't leave enough time to enjoy any of the natural or civil wonders between here and Texas, so he decided to go for the shortest time investment. I am quite anxious to find out if the new precedent has put a ding in the old dynamics. I don't know if a single vacation week will be a fair measure of changes in a living cycle, but we gotta start somewhere. Prayers ongoing.
