Cross-world Countdown Day 17-16

Might be scrambling to keep up on writing down what's happening
but actually, while the days are full, we're feeling more or less on top of things

The car sold quickly and easily for the asking price
An old, old car ('91) with known problems (we were thinking we would have to junk it)
We even had three people who all really wanted it scrambling to be first!

So all the big things are taken care of:
The house rented
The car sold
The furniture either sold or donated

And the packing has reached the stage of
If-i-pack-any-more-how-are-we-going-to-live-for-the-next-two-weeks?
And that is with a closet for of storage boxes packed
Three and a half suitcases ready to go
And three donation boxes by the front door

Now, if only we could finish the few school things we'd hoped to finished before we go
And the cooking supplies could last conveniently until we leave
(Unlike the oil that had the audacity to run out today)
And the last bits and pieces of painting touch ups could get fit in
And all the admin that has been languishing on Daddy's desk could be worked through
Then, we really would be sitting pretty!

There's still time for an all afternoon goodbye play date today
The house got reasonably tidy in the kids' absence
A Skype call to England yesterday
Confirming and arranging travel details
A song practice for Easter celebrations (that seem as yet so unreal) also
But the thankful hearts continue to brim
So the situation seems a wonderful thing
