I stayed up too late last night watching the VP and Ryan talk at the country...my god can those guys spew it. It was more entertaining than the first debate, I'll give you that. And at least we know that Paul Ryan will be well-hydrated today.
It's only been 4 days since I saw Mark...but it feels much longer. This is so weird sometimes. I have to remind myself about what's happening and why. He moves into our rental house tomorrow, then he flies back to CT on Friday and we'll load up the Uhaul (after dinner at the Pug!) and hit the road early Saturday morning. Heading west on the ground...that will make it seem real, I sense. So I'm trying to decide which stuff we'll really need for 6 - 9 months in case we have to put all of our stuff in storage here or there. If we don't sell the condo then we'll just leave our stuff here while it's still on the market and move it once the condo sells. If we do sell the condo we'll put our stuff in storage right away and unpack it once we find our permanent house in Boulder. Either way I need to figure out what to bring out west now because I don't think we're driving out again in December if we drive out next weekend. So everything else we think we need will have to be brought as airline luggage.
So far my list of essentials includes snowshoes, hiking sticks. my motorcycle helmet and the coffee maker. There must be more. A copy of Jiitterbug Perfume. We have a 10 foot Uhaul, so with some careful (engineering) packing we should be able to fit a fair number of possessions. Oh right, and the main reason we're driving out is to carry the stuff that movers won't transport: plants and large quantities of half-made wine. This better be some fantastic homemade pinot noir and chardonnay ; )
Big tag sale at school tomorrow, so I'm borrowing a long folding table and winnowing stuff from the basement, loft, garage, closets, etc. to sell. So our load will be lighter and we'll be richer to boot. And I get to have my face painted...sounds like a great day to me!
