Greetings and Salutations,
I had company for the weekend and a well needed rest from packing and stress. It was wonderful and I managed to continue to mark things off the list without putting anything in a box. I feel as refreshed and ready as I can be for the home stretch. I am shooting for between this Wednesday and Friday to be DONE. Then I can take the final 2 weeks to apply for some jobs and get out and enjoy Charleston and this beautiful weather.
This is how the "To Do" list has shaped up:
(1) Signed lease with renters until July 31st
(2) Worked out the kinks in the house insurance and have 2 of 3 quotes in and need to decide which one to choose
(3) Made Keys and purchased another fan for a bedroom (renter wanted it and she is willing to share the cost)
(4) Changed oil in truck and got an overall inspection (belts, hoses, brakes etc) and it is good to go. Still have a few things to repair.
(5) Paint for a room
My renter reminded me of something I had over looked. I have Rainbow Row border in my dining room. Mom and I put that up together. It never dawned on me someone wouldn't like it. The girls want it down. The original plan was I buy the paint and the girls do the deed once I am out of the house (remember the curtains).
It took me a hot minute to wrap my head around it, but I have decided it will be therapeutic to take it down myself. I want to take the opportunity to realize life will go on if I see this border come down. This isn't my home anymore. It is an opportunity for me to grow. I plan to take it with a smile on my face even if there are tears in my eyes. I'll keep you posted on the final decision.
Here is the current list until I sit down at the end of the week and think of loose ends:
(1) FINISH PACKING
(2) finish taxes
(3) wash truck
The morning of the 26th of this month my mom had her first stroke. I really miss her. I hope if she really is watching over me she is happy and proud for what I am trying to make happen for myself and my life.
Tootles :)
