This past weekend wasn't exactly how I would have pictured it. I had imagined that we would spend the time enjoying our town one last time - taking the dogs to the park to play, visiting "our bench" one last time, hanging out with friends, and just relaxing. Instead ... it was full of packing. It's amazing how much work there is to do even when someone else is coming to do the actual packing. I attribute this to the fact that our stuff is going to two different locations - to India and to storage. To make things easier, we've decided to move everything that's going to India into a spare bedroom. This involves going through the house and moving the items. Seems easy enough. Turns out it also involves going through everything and purging. I wish we could live a minimalist lifestyle and I strive to head that way little by little. So I'm pleased that we've (Stewart) have been making frequent runs to the dumpster with bags of trash. We still have more to do but now we're down to the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Oh, and I actually have to put my clothes in suitcases....
Back to work...
