Moving with Penske

I have used Penske trucks for all of my long distance moves, and this time was no exception! They offer a AAA and an online discount, so the price is great. They have great customer service and upon my last review of movers had a lower risk of the vehicle breaking down. When we arrived at the PODS warehouse, my PODS container was already outside waiting for me. I looked for my container number, and my container had my name on the handle with my lock in place. We unloaded the POD onto the Penske truck, then drove from Fayetteville back to my townhouse. Here is Mike and Josh helping to unload the truck into the townhouse.

Now, time for unpacking these boxes and doing lots of laundry and washing dishes!

Unloading my POD

I am finally getting all of my things from storage in Fayetteville. Here is POD world, those forklift drivers whip around like a small car. It was definitely an experience seeing everything that has been in storage for 2 years. Thankfully, I don't have to keep paying "rent" on my POD any longer!

Canna

I planted these Cannas in the Spring, and I wasn't sure how they would do. I have 4 in total, and this peach one is the first one to bloom. There is another color, but I am not sure when it will bloom. I will be sure to post pictures once the others bloom.

Balloon Flower

Here is a picture of my Balloon Flower that I purchased at Home Depot about a month ago. It initially had blooms on it, but then, it was just greenery. Now, it has bloomed again with many pretty flowers!

Sprite Melons

A friend at work bought a Sprite Melon a couple of weeks ago at work, and I took a couple of the seeds to plant. A sprite melon is a cross of a Honeydew, so I am not sure if the seeds will come up as Honeydew or Sprite Melons, but I am excited to find out. Look how big they have gotten so far?

Rose of Sharon

I have to admit, that this is not my plant, but my mom's. This is a Rose of Sharon bush that was rooted from my grandfather's plant. Each year, the bush gets larger and larger, and this year it is covered with blooms. FYI, this bloom looks different from the traditional blooms, as it is a double bloom. So pretty!

New Job

On Thursday, I started my new job at Advanced Home Care. I will be in 'training' for a while, but once I gain my stripes and learn the system, I will be going out on my my own. Being a home health therapist means that I will go out to the patient's home and treat them in their own house. I should be treating patients at a higher level, as the patients that we discharge from the nursing home receive home health. Today, I did a ride along with a nurse, and it was a lot of fun. I am very excited to learn the ropes of home health!
