First Week in Mesa

Well. We have had a very busy week. We arrived on Saturday the 19th and immediately started transferring food from the motorhome (parked next door) to the house. We got the refrigerator and freezer contents transferred, then the canned goods, teas/coffee, spices, and baking supplies. It took all afternoon. We made up the bed and called it done for the day.

On Sunday we moved over all of our clothes, and on Monday we got books and the craft closet. We discovered when we arrived that our AC wasn’t working, but fortunately the temperatures stayed under 85 and got cool at night so we were fine. The repairmen came on Tuesday and fixed everything so we are nice and cool.

On Monday I went to see a local retinal specialist to address my retinal wrinkle in my left eye. And I had surgery to remove the wrinkle on Thursday, so that’s behind me. The procedure wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected it to be; as I write this it is Saturday evening and my eye feels pretty good. They sure used some heavy duty dilation drops because that eye is still dilated but hopefully I’ll be able to go out in the sun in another day or two. The blurriness will take a while to resolve, though, and I have two kinds of eye drops to use four times a day. So my hopes of having the bedroom all painted this week have flown out the window. Maybe next week I’ll be able to paint.

Bob has been busy. Apart from getting the RV ready for storage he has installed a new outlet in the cabinet next to the sink in preparation for our new dishwasher (yay!) that has already been delivered. Hopefully it will be in sometime this week but we are still waiting for the cord to arrive.

So we are starting to feel settled, and hopefully next week will be much easier!
