This is my new favorite video from my old favorite band. It is really about them carrying on without Steven, but it seems oddly appropriate to as we approach our deadline to depart what has been our home for nearly five years now. As happy as I am to leave, for some reason, I am feeling a little sad. Today is our last day to pack our belongings into the pods, and I am nervous as I don’t know if everything will fit. We will be roughing it for a few days after that.
Thursday we get to see the Alice movie at midnight, yay! After that we come home, grab the cats put them into the rental car and head to the airport.
This morning, as the house is pretty wrecked and the bulk of the work still has to be done, I’m contemplating the mess I have gotten us into. Laying in bed, thinking how much money the move is costing us, thinking about the taxes due and other various crazy expenses, is not a good idea. It just drives you crazy.
Dogs were loaded into the van and sent on their way today.
We had a wonderful garage sale adventure. It was bitterly cold, but my prediction didn’t come true – people showed up and we made almost $200. All of my worsted weight yarn? Gone, baby. Everything. Three big plastic containers. Gone and gone.
Gordon sold off some of his action figures and some comics. Odd buyer for the comics – didn’t want to look through them, despite us trying to explain that there are 10 #1 of this or that in there. Just bought 4 longboxes for $50 and took them off. I have a feeling he can’t tell Valiant from Dark Horse, but hey, he wanted to buy it and he did.
Still have a bunch of stuffed toys left, books, and clothes. Goodwill refuses to accept any toys, which weirded me out, but maybe Salvation Army might.
Loaded half of the longboxes into the crates and sorted through about a third of what’s left. Afraid to put all the comics into one container. The weight limit is 2500 and with ten longboxes alone we’re hitting 500lbs. I think we might have 40 boxes? More? I swear I pulled about 40 copies of Bloodshot #1 out of one longbox.
