Things are coming together

I think we have unpacked most things we need to carry on life as near normal as can be. Most of the boxes filled with stuff we have collected since New Orleans are going to remain packed and hopefully purged over the next year that we are living in this townhouse. What I thought was a nice huge empty basement doesn't feel so large now. Thank goodness for that empty space for us to use as storage.

I've contacted a doctor near our house to schedule appointments for both of us after May 1 when the new insurance begins. I've also reached out to State Farm to have our insurance transferred over to a Georgia agent. I've pretty much stocked up on some grocery items so our refrigerator looks like people live and eat here.

This morning after running around I thought I would have lunch at Popeyes. I can't recall the last time I had a piece of Popeyes spicy fried chicken breast with a side of their creamy red beans or zingy cajun rice. I decided to stop home and drop off the groceries and decided I would just make myself a sandwich instead. There's plenty of days ahead for Popeyes. Besides, yesterday I bought some thinly sliced mortadella with pistachios and black peppercorns at Fresh Market and it called out to me as I was putting away the groceries. I love mortadella!

I still haven't planted the tomatoe and pepper plants that Brian bought me. I will do that tomorrow morning first thing. I did pick up some sunflower seeds to plant along the back fence. I bought the gigantic kind that grow to about 16 feet. That should make the birds happy.
