The Dumpster And Divers

Afternoon friends,

What a week it's been beginning with the Great And Powerful Oz at the French Consulate and coming to an end with the pickup tomorrow of our dumpster (14 cubic yards baby!) that's almost full!  With gigantic amounts of assistance from our friends Paul Alcock, Tray Eppes, John Ward, Kian and Niall, and Vivian Tucker we cleared ALL of the rooms of clutter (25 years of it!) in a little over 3 days although Kian and Niall and I started last Friday.

I'm still dismantling my studio and putting everything from it that is to be shipped as "personal" stuff on Monday.  What an amazing experience.  The house looks bare in places now and there are boxes with handwritten notes everywhere.  The cats are restless cause they know something's happening.  Speaking of the cats, they were injected with their "bar" codes yesterday and an experimental dose of a sedative was given to Gracie Mae by our Vet Genevieve Neal as a test balloon and it worked perfectly.  Gracie was VERY stoned for most of the evening and she's the most excitable of the 2 cats.
We're also getting some low dose relaxers for Kian and Niall who have never flown before just to take the edge off.  We are after all riding Business Class on this trip which will be DELUXE for the crew and the twins for their first flight.

I'll close by saying that no sooner we'd throw something in the dumpster someone would dive in and get it out (naming nobody here as I love them all).  Our friends turned the whole event into a party.

It's been easier for everyone.

God bless everyone from the Heights......*
