solipsistnationThe first truck day is upon me, thanks to Tracker. He will be arriving soon, and we will pile his truck high with heavy large things and move them to the new place. My house slowly empties around me. Soon it will be just me and my laptop and scattered stuff that I will gather into boxes. FInally, the house will be empty and we will be gone.
As of next Tuesday, the 15th, it will be three years exactly since we signed an inch-thick stack of papers and I drove over in the middle of the day to roam around this place that was MINE, and OURS. Now it's going to belong to somebody else, who will change it all around (they've been having a contractor visit to take measurements and make plans). After the 28th, it won't be mine any more. It'll belong to a retired couple with the same plans we had when we moved in-- live here and not move again. Maybe they'll have a better time of it.

They don't have to worry about little things like losing their tech jobs and suddenly being poor and unable to find any more work and watching the lives they built for themselves slowly come apart at the seams thereafter. I reckon they'll have a just peachy time of it.
