In the middle of the move....
UGH! I HATE this part of moving! Packing things up and playing box tetris... Now, which item of similar use can fill up THIS box???
Husband has been very little help, but I can't blame him too much. The job he had high hopes of getting in our new town fell through, and he is now resigned to staying behind. There have been so many uncertainties this past month or so... We listed the house for sale at the end of June, just before the July 4th holiday, and had NO interest. So going out that following week to close on our new home was a bit disconcerting - how long WILL it take to sell our old house???
On our return at the end of that week, we had an Open House and then things started moving! Showing after showing all that week, then a few days of quiet, and a few more showings and BANG, an offer! So we are now under contract (which CAN fall through, but I hope it doesn't). We then decided to go apartment shopping for hubby and found just the thing he needs, in an ideal location (2 blocks form his work) and for a reasonable price.
FINGERS CROSSED that this offer sticks!
Among all that confusion above, I made another trip out to the new house - with the dogs- to take a load of delicates out in a rented van (things we did not want to have on a moving van, like antiques and plants). My trip was long and tiring, but uneventful.
Hubby had a taste of what it will bel like to live alone. He is NOT happy.
I returned to start packing in earnest. The Movers pick up our furnishings a week from tomorrow, and in the mean time, I can also clean hubby's new space and help him move. I get tired just thinking about it!
