The closing on the house was this morning. We have 5 days to vacate and totally quit the
premises; not too daunting of a task because about 95% of our possessions that
didn't go out in the downsizing have already been boxed up by a professional overseas
mover, and are about to begin their journey overseas. The remaining items are (A) being moved to my
sister-in-law's place; (B) given to the new owners of the house (garden tools,
an extension ladder, a Craftsman table saw, a shop vacuum cleaner, and the gas
grill and backyard picnic table); or (C) trashed. I expect the bulk of this to be done
tomorrow.
And then, we will be legally homeless, but living in the
comfortable home of my wife's sister and brother-in-law. This works out quite well for all concerned
because they are traveling to Atlanta for my brother-in-law's grandnephew's bar
mitzvah, and are pleased to not have the house vacant, and to not have to put
their cairn terrier (who is friendly and well-disciplined) in a boarding kennel
for the week.
And I do have a number of appointments to keep in the coming
weeks. Some of them are actually closer
to my wife's sister's place than our soon-to-be former home.
The Jewish holiday of Lag B'Omer will be upon us
tonight. Perhaps my wife and I will find
a few minutes, and a little bit of enerty, to attend the celebration at our
shul. Wishing all a happy one!
