Progress!

Progress! Today's goals:
  • clear master bedroom (except bed)
  • clear living room
  • clear family room
  • pack ham radio gear
Yesterday's laundry marathon (continuing into an ultramarathon today) made the master bedroom achievable. The living room and dining room are mostly large furniture; not a lot of stuff that needs sorting or boxing. There's a little of that in the family room, but overall, nothing major. And the carport is already looking like a garage sale.

It seems I've turned the corner emotionally, too. I'm still saddened when I think of who I'm leaving behind, but generally my thoughts are either in the here-and-now ("Live in the now!") or anticipating (with excitement!) what's to come.

So today, clear three rooms and get radio gear ready to ship to Christof (who makes beautiful knives: check them out at Koyote Knives). Tomorrow, probably finish what doesn't get done today.
  • Saturday afternoon I'm going to head to Upland, leaving around 2:00 PM, to meet up with some church folk I might not otherwise get to say goodbye to.
  • Saturday evening I'll go to my brother's in Fontana; we'll chill and maybe visit some folk in that area.
  • Sunday (my brother's birthday) we'll take the Express to Catalina Island for some diving: my last routine Southern California dive.
  • Back to Fontana Sunday night to clean dive gear
  • Monday afternoon, another tattoo session: the honu and humuhumunukunukuapua`a will be joined by a lau wiliwili
  • Monday night or Tuesday morning, back to the grind
It's a busy time, but there is enough time, I think: time to savor what's precious here, and time to accomplish what's needful before leaving.
