Another day in the 80s.   Unusual even for Oklahoma, the weather reports are saying.   This is the last of the unseasonable warmth they predict, so I must prepare for some cooler weather. 

I got the car washed today and put my brand new Oklahoma license plate on it.   Now, as I have my driver's license also, I am truly a resident of this state.  

I hung a few more pictures in my office today.   Slowly but surely things are becoming more homelike.

My office is still shambles.   Actually things are sorted, but there are far too many piles.   I need to get pared down and am gradually doing that as the settling in becomes taken care of.

Tomorrow, Sunday.    I will go to the 8:30AM Mass and have the rest of the day.   Bart and/or Barb are going to help me get my printer online.   I can only get so far without instructions.

In two weeks, I will be in Texas for the Dallas Irish Fest.   George and Betsy are also coming to Plano.  I may have told you that but I am so excited that I will see them along with Leif, Nora, Stenn and Bing.   AND an Irish fix too.

I am now an official Okie.  I have my car with an Oklahoma license and my driver's license is Oklahoma.  That should be the last of the BIG changes.

Typical of DMVS - I spent two hours waiting for my place in line to get my changes recorded.  DMVS around the country should be ashamed of their service.  The young lady that FINALLY serviced me was wonderful but there is no reason for the time spent waiting for service.

Just got home from the Bible Class on the Gospel of John that my pastor is teaching during this Lent.   I am getting to meet people in the church and learning at the same time.

I was busy today, of course.    I went and got some rods to hang my quilts and wall hangings from.   Now I have to figure out how to hang the rods:)

Tomorrow, I will get my auto license and driver's licenses changed to Oklahoma.

Then I will be a true Okie?

It is supposed to get up into the 80s tomorrow.   Unseasonably warm even for Oklahoma with a fire hazard warning in place.

A pleasant day.    Finished unpacking the books.   That is a feat in itself.   Bart and I did a bit of shopping today and a couple of other errands. 

A repairman is coming  tomorrow and church, the bible class is in the evening.  So it will be a busy day.

I have decided to go to Dallas the first week in March for their Irish Fest.   Nora and Leif invited me.  Stenn and Bing go also so it will be fun.

Today, Marlies,  Barb's Mom (I think you all know that) guided me down to Wichita Falls, TX so that I could get to a Wells Fargo Bank.   I had three checks to be deposited and did want to know where the bank is.    We left at about 8:30AM and were back shortly after 11AM so Marlies was able to make a luncheon with her friends.    She is a good friend to have around here.  

So it took only a little over two hours including my time in the bank.  I do know that there is a marvelous grocery store somewhere in Wichita Falls also.   So as I can do most things online and if I get as smart as my smart phone, can even deposit checks online, it will not be inconvenient at all not to have a branch in Oklahoma.

I am continuing with my putting things away and organizing.    It seems endless.  I ordered a workbench from Walmart for the garage that I will have by the end of the month.  It just seems more practical than piling everything on shelves with no way to spread out.   I found one that is not too expensive and will easily suit my needs.

Tomorrow, Bart and I are going to see about getting my auto and drivers licenses taken car of.   I also need to apply for the homestead credit that Oklahoma has which will help with RE taxes.

I did register to vote - just in time too.   So now I do have a government ID with my OK address on it.
 Guess that makes it official.

A few things are going up on the walls as I feel comfortable with them.   

So things are falling into place.

I am already involved in a church group (albeit, the class is only during lent, but will lead to something, I know.)  and Barb's quilt group.    Perhaps that will encourage me to finish the half finished projects in tubs all around.

Today, I met my new chiropractor, Dr. Toy.    He seems very nice and did adjust me.   I was really out of whack so hopefully will feel better now.    He will check on Friday to see how things have stabilized.

I was home the rest of the day.   Now that I have my ice maker hooked up, I am able to put pots and pans and dishes in the lower cabinets.   I was avoiding that because I would have just had to take them out for Nate to work anyway.    I have lights working on the garage too.   Yippee.  

Two young neighbors were supposed to come by today, as it is Washington's Birthday and a school holiday, to rake.   They stopped last week and asked if they could do jobs like that to as one of them said. "Keep them off the streets."    But they did not show up so I am figuring that this is not going to work.   I have another source to take care of the lawns, but would not mind having the neighbor youth doing it.  Oh well.

Did get a lot put away and even hung a couple of paintings here and there.  

Tomorrow, Marlies and I are going to drive to Wichita Falls, TX so that I can go to Wells and deposit some checks and get some cash.    I am also frightfully low on cash and need to get to a bank.   It is only because of the move that I have checks to deposit, so this will not be a usual problem.   There are after all ATMS everywhere.

I am watching the Westminster Dog Show.   I do like that, though lots of people don't.   I find it fun.
   

So another busy day tomorrow.

What  a day.

I now have my "icemaker" refrigerator hooked up and working.

Nicky was quite confused. but grew to like the people who came to get things working.


Life is much easier today.

Did dhuit.
