The guys had the trailer loaded and we were on the road by 10:00 this morning.  Daughter was excited.  The men unloaded the trailer and put the bed together.  There was a ton of paperwork.  While I worked on that, one of the staff helped her unpack (there wasn't much to do, as we'd moved her dresser with all the clothes in it.) 
.
After I finished the paperwork I went to her room to set up her TV.  It turns out there is cable available for her, so that was nice.  She needed a new light bulb for her lamp and I needed a cable to connect the TV to the cable box, so we went to lunch and then bought those things (which cost exactly $11.11-- but it we didn't buy them at 11:11).  I finished setting up her TV, gave her a hug, and left.

One of the men invited me to go on a tour of homes and out to dinner with he and his wife tonight.  I'm glad I won't be home all alone tonight.  It was hard when I pulled away.  I wanted to talk to Mom.  It doesn't happen as frequently, but there are still times when I miss her terribly.  I called Far Away Sister.  She sent Tall Niece off to college this fall, so she understands. 
.
Tomorrow I'll be at a meeting all day.  Sunday I'll pick up Daughter for church.  The week will be busy, with a funeral on Monday.  Fortunately, I'm just assisting.  I will probably drop Daughter off right after we work the soup kitchen on Sunday so I don't have to drag her to the funeral home for visitation. 
.
For now, though, I'm going to go get ready for my evening out.  I think I will enjoy my new freedom.

I'm so happy for both of you and I'm glad you got her moved quickly today! I hope you enjoy your evening out, try not to worry too much (hmmm... maybe we should take bets on how many times she calls you tonight? LOL) Have Fun!!
