Things are moving along here and I've been setting daily micro-goals for packing and the myriad of other transactions associated with picking up one's life in one state and plopping it down into another. Two sisters, Terri and Stacie, are arriving via Terri's SUV on August 8 to provide another vehicle for last minute stuff/ treasures and to help with last minute organizing. They will be a godsend! My last official day of work is August 9. Stacie returns to CO on August 10, movers come on August 11, escrow closes on the SD sale on August 12 and Terri and I depart to caravan in separate vehicles (I will have two unhappy cats in mine) very early on August 13 after overnighting at my bestie Mags' house. We spend that night in St. George, UT and then it's east to the Rockies and my new home. (And getting those damn cats out of the car!)
Having a family like mine has made this all possible. Sisters, brother, brothers-in-law - I simply could not have gotten my arms around all the hundreds of steps, beginning with househunting in northern CO so many months ago. It was so daunting in the beginning and so many variables were dependent on others it took a flow chart to map them out. Terri has done all the heavy lifting in helping on this end, but everyone has been so helpful on getting me set up in my new place over there!
Horace Greeley is credited with the much quoted "Go west, young man!" Terri coined "Go east, old woman!" and it always makes me laugh! We say it all the time now.
