One step closer

I think it's fair to say that many things have gone much smoother than I expected. I thought I might get some push back from the shipping companies telling me that I couldn't ship my selected goods (specifically, the bed and the loveseat), however, the quote came in today and was approved by my company, so everything we wanted to take can go. I listed the car to sell in yesterday's paper, and I signed the bill of sale yesterday night. Not only that, the first person to look at it took it for what I consider to be a fair price. I don't think I could have asked for better.

Of course, things are now getting somewhat more hectic, given that I am leaving in 10 days. There are still things left to pack and sort before I go, however, tomorrow is my last day in the office before I leave, so the extra hours during the coming week should be sufficient for the task. Still, the fact that the car is sold is a huge relief, and it puts everything back to the packing phase of things. I am trying hard to cherish these last few days with my family before I go, as after I leave I won't see them for a month.
