SO ready

I’m up quite early, having gotten enough sleep because I went to bed a couple hours earlier than the usual ‘round midnight. The Giants won another baseball game last night, and the team actually appears to be in real contention for a wildcard playoff spot! Six weeks ago it looked like they were out of the running, cooked, done for the season. But nay, there seems to be life in that lineup yet. Seventeen regular season games remain.

Yesterday we got the last of what we wanted of our stuff out of the old house and yard—with the help of our mighty friend lelulaserlight and her pickup truck Bev the Chev. Later this morning The Recyclers are coming with a big dump truck to take away everything else—to be sorted, donated, recycled, and tossed as appropriate. That’s a hugely significant step toward selling the old house. Next will be deep cleaning all the rooms, roof & gutter cleaning, power washing the exterior, and yard spiffing, all done by not-us—i.e. professionals who will do a good and quick job in all categories. We are SO ready to be done with the old place, SO ready to focus our lives on one house. For the extra-curious, Mrs. Random has been blogging regularly with updates about our process of moving out and moving in.
