Our good friend who will sublet our home came for a quick meeting and tour of the house to plan his move. He seems happy, and that makes me feel very good. I tend to undertake way too much in situations like this, and if it was up to me I would have painted the house from top to bottom (and that's what I thought I would do about 4 months ago...) - but it will not be so, and it's fine. Phew! For us, the move begins tomorrow with sending our big couch to the garbage! Yé! On Friday, our friend will be delivering his couch, bed and a few things.
A couple of set backs in the last few days: our computer hard drive died. I had a bunch of business files backed-up, but unfortunately we lost a lot of amazing family pictures from the last four years. Tim also lost a bunch of original charts and recordings... ouch. It's so much work to write full arrangements! but at least he still has many of these pieces printed - so thank God for paper!
The other set back is that after 11 + years of parenthood, we have just entered the head lice club. Yes, thank you very much. Poor Dylan had a fair population on his head, and after checking a couple of times and not seeing anything - I misdiagnosed the itch problem and was treating him with psoriasis shampoo (ding dong!). Oh well, now I know what to look for (do I ever...) ! Leo had a very mild case, and I keep checking myself daily.
Business is doing just fine, I have to confirm schedules for the winter trimester and we're good to go.
Oh... I still have to prepare a little poster for my classes in Majahual and Xcalak - has to be in Spanish, better get to that!
I purchased 2 sturdy duffle bags with wheels, I measured our roof top carrier bag and found just the right size duffle bags to fit in with a little extra room. China Town is perfect for shopping for suitcases and bags, and prices are amazing. So we will travel with 2 duffle bags, 2 carry-ons, a banjo, a mando and a fiddle. We will buy a guitar there.
I can't believe we're a little less than 3 weeks away! What are we doing? Oh yeah... we're living fully!
