Fiasco

Our garage door is fixed!  It was actually pretty painless, he was on time and gone within an hour.  While he was here I reserved a room for the first travel day of our actual move.  We learned after our last move that the La Quinta chain is a very pet friendly hotel that does not charge extra for your pets to stay.  So we found a La Quinta and reserved the room at the government rate, since we are traveling on orders. 


Then I went ahead and printed our maps from Google Maps with our specific destinations on there, along with contact information.  Then I fished out our road atlas to take with us in the car.


After the garage door repairman left, a carpet and tile cleaning company came by to give me an estimate.  I liked their price so I scheduled the carpets and tile floors to be cleaned on the morning of our walk through.  It is cutting it a little close, but that was the only time I could fit it in.  


A friend of ours offered to watch our dog for us once we arrive in town until we close on our house.  That was so nice of her!  So I no longer have to find a decent kennel for our dog during those days.


And finally I spent a little time working on house buying paperwork before I called the base medical records office to see about getting our records forwarded to our new base.  What a fiasco that was!  After hours on the phone figuring it all out, it comes down to this.  We have medical records at six different doctors offices, including half of my youngest daughter's records inexplicably being left in the Midwest!  And each office has different guidelines on how to forward them.  What a headache!
