Self Portrait Sunday for March 15, 2009
Yep, it’s a little colder in Texas than it was in Hawaii. I’ve been wearing my “uniform” every time I step outdoors: I found the coat at a thrift store & Cousin Kim loaned me the hat and gloves. I’ve got long johns under my jeans but you’ll have to take my word for that. It was warm when I got here last week, but a storm blew in a few days later & I’ve been cold ever since. The rain stopped yesterday, so I’m hoping it will warm up soon & we’ll be on our way to spring.
My furniture and personal belongings haven’t left Hawaii yet and there’s some doubt that they ever will. I’m hoping I will find a way to get everything here. If not I’ll have to replace all of my clothes, kitchen items, office furniture, tools, hardware … everything. Not a happy prospect, so I’m trying hard not to think about it right now.
I don’t see a new Self Portrait Sunday post today at Midlife Musings, but that’s okay. Cass has a bunch on her plate these days, but Sunday isn’t over yet, so she might post in a bit. If she doesn’t, that’s okay, too. I’ve missed a whole string of self portraits lately and that’s just the way life is sometimes. We’ll live.

Well Skeet, you haven’t missed much here. It’s been colder then heck here and yesterday was one of those all day rainy days. I was out in Waianae at a friends wedding and it was rainy and cold.

Oh Flo! I leave and you finally visit Waianae! I’m so sad. We never did have that cup of coffee, you know!

At least you didn’t move in the dead of winter. Still, the change in climates must be a nasty shock to your system.
Why is your stuff stranded?

A huge misunderstanding about my new credit card, Lee. I told my bank officer that I needed a credit card for my move - about $10-15,000. She said “no problem - your new platinum card will have a $25,000 limit.” Wrong! It had $2500. They increased it to $5000 to shut up my whining. Enough to bring the car over, but I’m way short of having enough to move the furniture so it’s being held hostage by the moving company & I’m being charged daily storage. Not their fault, of course - they need to be paid, but I just can’t do it right now.

Welcome to the mainland lmao. Luckily we’ve had some warmer weather over on this coast and I just pray it does not get any colder. I’m soo ready for summer.

It’s warmed up a bit, Blueyes. I wore shorts while buring working outside this afternoon.

Skeet, I am so sorry to hear this about your things. That is such a shame!
