On the Move....

Moving has always been very hard for me. I want to move to the house, I really do, it's just a little sad to say goodbye to everything.

We're renting out my condo as an executive suite, so it needs to be furnished. Alot of furniture is staying where it is. It's a little sad. I picked out everything in here with alot of thought and purpose, and it bugs me that whoever stays here won't appreciate it the same way I do. I know it sounds silly but it's a feeling. No one else will turn on the light in the China cabinet, just to appreciate it. I remember couch shopping with my Dad, sitting on every piece of furniture until I found one that was just right. Sigh.

Stuff is just stuff. Plus eventually we can get new stuff for the house, picked out with just as much thought and probably appreciated even more, and create and even more memories.

I did lots of growing up in this place too. So many life changing events have happened while living here. So many lessons learned. This place was the center of all of that. Contemplating these things looking over the river. It's all very emotional.

There's so much work to still be done. This week, we need to check references for the people that want to rent Ryan's place. It's generated quite of bit of interest which is great. Barbara is helping do the design/redesign of my place to rent out as an executive suite. I've been putting together spreadsheets for that. I still need to book maintenace for this place, the elevator to move, pick up odds and ends for the executive suite not to mention the actual packing. We move Friday. Tomorrow is Monday, did I mention I'm working during the day and I already have an hour blocked out tomorrow for a bank meeting? I'm thinking of taking Thursday off too, I can't see how this will all be done in a week.

I feel like we're a little light on the packing side right now. I know it won't
take that long once we're in full packing mode but being the planner I am, I can't see it visually accounted for right now.

It's exciting times but it is soooo busy. I hope our investments and time pays off. I think it's a pretty solid low risk plan.
