So I have reached the beginning of the end—I met with two friends today for the last time before I leave. It was good to visit with them but sad to think that this is it. I still vacillate between sadness and hope, grief and expectation. At least I am experiencing both and not just depressed all of the time.
I finally feel like I have some clear direction and planning as to our last weeks. I am making some clear cut decisions on packing, etc. That is freeing and empowering. I finish work on the 15th, which is a Friday. I am sure we'll do some projects that Saturday. Sunday is Father's Day, so I told Bob I would make him homemade eggrolls and teriyaki chicken kabobs. Maddie will have her birthday sleepover on Monday, and I will take the girls out to mini-golf and have frozen yogurt. Tuesday morning, I will make them a nice birthday breakfast. That night we'll celebrate her birthday as a family with dinner and cake. Then it's time to get to work.
Wednesday gives me one week until the truck arrives. I will pack—everything. There will be no more cooking. There is no more school or work, just packing. I will go from room to room and clear them out in their entirety. There will be no holds barred. We pack our daily stuff in suitcases, and the rest goes in boxes.
