Apparently all of our i’s are dotted and our t’s are crossed, and our house is sold to the first bidder. The close date is the 21st, so the movers are packing the 18th and 19th and loading the 20th. It’s coming up a little too fast for me, since I can’t really leave work before next Friday (the 15th) without feeling guilty because of project deadlines and my boss being in Canada right now.

So I guess the plan is we will stay in Ed’s apartment while we find a house and put most of our belongings in storage. That is pretty much like when we moved to Houston, except this time it’s an unfurnished apartment, and we have to move our own things to it, and there is no washer and dryer and no microwave, and we have pets but now no neighbors to watch them if we want to go away, and we have plants, and we have to drive there, and we won’t have internet access. If we didn’t have pets, I would just travel for the summer.
