I have discovered that everything we are buying costs more than we planned and everything we are selling is getting less than we planned. I know this will all work out but HOW!
We have 3 big things to do (besides packing everything for shipping and storage): sell 2 cars and rent our house. To date, we have no inquiries at all into renting the house. This is seriously freaking us out. Hello...is there anyone out there! Is everyone now living in caves or what? Has the economy actually frozen people's ability to make changes?
Now about the cars. We have been offered, reluctantly offered, about 40% less for each car than we anticipated. Now we are approaching friends because if we have to dump them cheap, at least someone we know might benefit.
On to better things.
Two wonderful friends had an open house for us Sunday. We invited all our different groups of friends. Surprisingly, it was a good time. (If my having a good time at a party confuses you, go back and read the first blog.) This was truly remarkable because the hosts were sick and stayed upstairs out of the party most of the evening. Thank you Jim and Kelly for being over the top, extraordinary people and going way beyond the call of duty. It is so rare to find generosity and hospitality like this!
Now for the amazing part...I leave in 18 days. My last day at work is in 7 days. This is getting very real. And in spite of all the confronting issues, I am starting to get very excited.
