Nana K's New Digs

 February... it's a month that was nearly dedicated to moving Nana Karen to an assisted living village.  This meant packing up, sorting through, trips to the dump, Goodwill, selling.  Then, unpacking, decorating, and cleaning out the old place. That was the SHORT SHORT version.  

I'm bushed.  ...pretty sure I either have a shoulder impingement or a torn rotator cuff to boot.  🥴

 But... it's a new chapter for Nana K for sure.  And, it's a very very very good thing.

We moved Mom on seriously THE COLDEST day of the year; February 1st.  The temperature high for the day was negative zero and the winds blew ferociously.  It was the day we "had" to move in, so there was no getting around it.   However, for the rest of the month, we did take time to fill in with smaller items and such.

We were able to set up her bed and a few pictures before she moved in.  When she got there, I wanted her to see the place and say "wow, this is nice" and not think "good grief, this is terrible".  

We visit frequently.  Ramsey was SO worried that we would be selling or donating all of his toys from Nana's place.  Of course we would do no such thing!
In addition to the move, there were a LOT of medical appointments to endure; dental, vision, general medical, check-ups, etc.  January was the same.  It's been a BUSY few months here!   But, Nana is settling in.  And, the people at her complex are absolutely amazing.  We are so very blessed that she is there!  Love you, Momma!
