Apartment is empty again

Cort, the company we rented furniture for the apartment from, told us yesterday that they would come by today sometime between 2:30 and 4:30 to pick up the furniture.  So, Guillermo and I got to the apartment around 2:20 and waited.  While we waited, we cleaned the furniture up a little bit and also cleaned up the kitchen and the kitchen sink.  Part of the sink was in pretty bad shape so I ran to Walmart to get a stronger cleaner than what we were using and that new cleaner did a good job.  Then Guillermo left to go do something.  He got back around 4 and shortly after that the Cort guys showed up.  It took the guys about 20 minutes to dismantle everything and get it all shuttled down to their truck.

So, we finally got to leave the apartment around 4:20.  We felt good that the furniture was taken away and now all we need to do is vacuum the apartment and it will be ready for us to vacate.  But we won't do that until the end of February, so we still have a little time.

Yesterday, Guillermo and I had dinner with Mom.  She is doing so much better.  She even canceled the Meals on Wheels program that was delivering her lunch during the week.  She said she didn't really like the food and would just as soon cook something herself.  She also went to church with Linda on Sunday, the first time she had gone to a church since last October.  She says she wants to start going every Sunday again.  So, yes, Mom is getting better and better and it is so amazing and such a blessing.

Thursday of last week (Feb. 7th), I took Mom to a Cardiologist who said she is doing well and should continue the medications she is currently on.  After dropping her off back at her house, I drove to the Tax Office on the south side of town to pick up some handicap placards that we can place in our cars when we drive Mom somewhere.  Then I picked Mom back up and we went to Ihop to have lunch, but we forgot to take those placards!!!!  Oh well, there wasn't an empty handicap parking spot anyway in the parking lot of Ihop so we wouldn't have been able to use it after all.
