Tuesday is moving day and I still am feeling I am not ready because there are so many little things to deal with, to pack, to toss, to donate. I seem to constantly find something more. I consider the attic done, the back bedroom done, the front room done, the living room done, but I still have things in the basement, the front and middle bedroom, a TV in the back room, and four fish in the pond!
The move estimator said we would need four wardrobe boxes. I am up to six. We have far more small boxes than anyone could have imagined. For example I packed all of the books from the back room, expecting perhaps to get them all in 8 to 10 boxes. Double that.
We have gotten rid of all but four goldfish - these four are fast. The loveseat is gone, Kath's bed is gone, the recliner is gone. The gas grill is gone and the charcoal and Weber smoker are spoken for. On Saturday 1-800 Junk comes for a lot of stuff collected in the garage - and I am adding to it.
On Monday the movers come to pack the kitchen and dining room. I am so glad we are paying them to do this part. I am tired of packing!
Yesterday Kristie, acting as our "Attorney in Fact" signed all of the papers for the closing on our house in Redmond. We are no longer slum lords and a check should show up today. Looks like we doubled our money on that house - but now we will pay Oregon abd Federal taxes on the gain.
