It has finally dawned on me that I am actually moving … in three weeks. Yikes. Three weeks from today is June 28. I am supposed to be out of here by July 1. So the major moving day will be sometime between the 28th and the 1st. The complication is that Lynda is moving out of house next week. The house will then be empty and contractors are coming in to replace flooring in the bedroom, kitchen, and dining room and are sanding and refinishing the wood floor in the living room. The question in my mind is whether that can be done in two weeks. Lynda has been promised that it will be done but promises from contractors can be broken. We shall see. On this end, I need to figure out what I can pack now and still have everything I need to live for the next three weeks. I seem to be having difficulty figuring that out, but tomorrow, I am going to start the process and just see how it goes.
One of my major problems is that I have to split my time devoted to moving with other things. I am still spending a lot of time getting the new garden established. And I still have one boat project to finish. And Christina Brodie and I are gearing up to take over the leadership of Encore. I split my day today between cleaning house and working in the garden at the new house. I am devoting all of tomorrow to moving projects. I’ll have a better idea at the end of tomorrow of just how much I truly have to do. Here’s hoping it goes smoothly and faster than anticipated. I’ll fill you in tomorrow night.
