With escrow expected to close in a week or ten days, all my efforts this week focused on clearing out the house and disposing of unwanted possessions. Everything had to either be sold, given away, tossed, stored, or moved on the boat. Thank goodness Carol flew up from LA to help me with the weekend yard sale. Not only were there the logistical impossibilities for one person, but I came down with a nasty sore throat and chest cold on Saturday, which really slowed me down. Thanks Carol! Despite my being under the weather, we had a delightful dinner at our favorite Afghan restaurant with my friends Jim and Cathy. During our dinner conversation, Jim and I committed to his joining me on Circadian for the trip down. Yahoo! Knowledgeable, fun crew (who can catch lobster and cook, too!) will make the trip nicer and faster. The other good news this week is that the gal who is making the new berth cushions for me seems to be coming through, finally. Looks like I'll have them in plenty of time. I'm still waiting to hear back from WH Autopilots on the state of the components I returned to them last week. Sunday night, again despite my feeling crappy, we had another great evening dining al fresco with my neighbors. But by the time we got home I was ready to collapse, which I pretty much did. As soon as I returned from dropping off Carol at the airport this morning, I crashed for four hours. I managed to get myself up and going just long enough to update the blog, but that will be it for today.
You had everything for the sale well organized before I got there, which I really appreciated. I'm glad I could help.
ReplyDeletewow things are moving really quickly. Don't know why i am feeling a touch of sadness right now.
ReplyDeleteWell, SM, for me it's leaving a home and a life, so I've had a twinge or two of sadness as well. But a new life is about to begin with the best yet to come!
ReplyDeleteI feel both for you.
ReplyDeleteJust the pictures of empty rooms and shops, and stuffed cars kind of brought reality to me with a slap.
I'll feel better when I see you onboard full time, drinking a hot tea or coffee with the heater going sometime this winter when we get that rain.
