Going dark
This is a farewell post, before I ::sniff:: turn off my computer and ::sob:: allow it to be packed up.
God willing and the creek don't rise (our new house is under a flood statement until 7:27pm tonight), the cable modem installer comes on Friday, along with the satellite dish installer. Phone, water, gas, electric, and trash cans have been/will be handled by then. Actually, phone is the only thing that hasn't been done yet -- the rest are a matter of being switched over to our names.
Today we load up the semi, pick up/drop off some pieces at my Dad's house, run some last minute errands, and then clean this place for the new owners. Thankfully, trash pick up is tomorrow, so by the time they arrive, they'll have none of our trash and three big cans to use (SUCH a nice housewarming gift!). Dana and I drive to Chesterfield tonight, and will hole up in a hotel -- I'm hoping we can get in by 9 to catch The Apprentice!
Thursday morning, the movers show up with the semi, and the entire process begins in reverse. We know where 96% of everything will live; it's that last 4% that has me a bit concerned, because the piano falls into it, and it's a choice of rooms on different floors. Everything else should be easily moved around by us as we change our minds.
Cross your fingers for us! I should re-emerge from the Cone of Silence sometime this weekend. Play nice, y'all!
