| Professional packers |
I thought I’d
got rid of so much stuff but the movers took a whole work day to pack the
dishes, the ornaments, the pots and pans, the clothes, the furniture etc. I was
horrified at how long it took four people to pack up my house. Despite my horror, I was amazed at all the boxes packed in the truck,
like Tetris, with little air between each one.

Then Keith
and I spent the rest of the night cleaning the house, which took longer than I
thought. We had to haul out all the cleaning supplies and the odds and sods and
that didn’t seem to end. I was trying to recycle, give away or save everything
but Keith was helpful at packing stuff up and loading it off to the Eco Centre
before I went through it all.
I really
thought I would never get everything out of the house. But finally it was empty.

Today I
walked through it one last time, said goodbye to each room and thanked it for being such a good home to us for so long.
I gave over the keys to someone else. Another
family with two daughters in elementary school, the same age difference as my daughters, who
hopefully will enjoy the house as much as we did.
And now I
am finally living with my husband for the next two weeks.
