I was going to write a (hopefully) funny post about how Arlene & I celebrated the day yesterday, but I’m too tired. We spent all day Friday packing and loading trailer #1, with much help from friends from church. We got about 2/3 of the trailer loaded that first day, including the refrigerator, the piano, Arlene’s heavy credenza and china cabinet, the sofa, and my Monster Steel Desk ™. We ended up rejiggering a bunch of the load on Saturday, with yet more help from church friends (including some of the same folks who came and sweated with us on Friday).
Now, the trucks are both loaded, and we close tomorrow on this house. This afternoon I met Chris and Lisa, the buyers, at our house to do a quick walkthrough and to let them get their cats out of their cat crates. Since it’s going to be their house in 18 hours or so, I didn’t see the harm in letting them do so. They seem like a great family, and their kids are obviously excited about the new house, new neighborhood, etc. We had a nice visit, then Tom & I left to go visit the Crosbys and the Chandlers. By the time we came back here, we were both dead tired. Tom, in fact, was so sleepy he didn’t want anything to eat; he just zonked out in the van on the way back. Now he’s asleep, and I will be shortly.
Tomorrow at 0930 we close, then I have to go to the bank, get a dog leash, get the dog from the kennel, and get up to Ohio. Somewhere in there, I have to meet the ABF drivers at our house so they can ship our stuff, then it’s off to the great white north.
