4:13 a.m. I’ve been up since 3 o’clock. I drop Scout off at 9:00 a.m. for her 5:30 p.m. flight with KLM, then my Aer Lingus flight is 5:45 this afternoon.
Yesterday was quite the day – friend JK came to say good bye to Scout (and me, but mostly Scout), one friend did me a favour of driving me all over Halton to drop off thank you gifts at other friends’ houses. Sibling 2 had me over for dinner, and the the neighbours hosted a lovely send-off party. I will miss this street very much (but, you’re coming back, Elaine; you’re coming back).
Still feels like lots to do: packing is at about 85%; I have to return modem and satellite boxes via post office; there are still boxes for storage not yet fully packed (!); and I have just emptied the fridge of the last of the food – homemade applesauce and hard boiled eggs for breakfast and lunch today.
If I hadn’t hired a property manager/handy man – I don’t know where I would be right now. I am walking away from so many tasks that I had intended to complete myself, and there are boxes that I am just never going to fit in the storage room. Fortunately, I can count on SB for that – what a load off my mind all that delegation has been.
Time to sort out the last of Scout’s paperwork – and then, we’re off!
