The short good-bye

[la_rainette]

OK, so this is it. We signed the paperwork at the lawyer's yesterday.

Lawyer: We're saving paper these days. Instead of having two copies of the same paper that you both have to sign, we have one copy of two different papers, and you each sign one.
rainette: ?
Husband: ?
rainette and husband: *exchange A Look*
Husband: How does that save paper?
Lawyer *beams* Ahah! You're smart! You figured it out right away!
Husband: ?
Lawyer: It doesn't. Someone Up There thinks it does, but it actually doesn't.
rainette *helpfully* It saves ink, though.
Lawyer and Husband *exchange A Look*

It took all of 15 minutes. Today, the lawyers meet and close the deal. I have a feeling that it's going to take much longer than 15 minutes.

And then, sometime this afternoon, we get the keys.

Tomorrow, we move. Therefore, tonight, the computer will be shut down and taken apart. *deep sigh*

By Monday or Tuesday, unless our old computer doesn't survive the move, I should be back online for good. I expect the unpacking to be a lot easier and faster than the packing, cos we've done a good job of sorting stuff and making sure we finally got rid of what we didn't need anymore. Also, we have no deadline. *evil grin* Procrastination, here I come.

*bows deeply* So good-bye for now, dear friends. See y'all very soon. *HUGS*

At least it sounds like it's going to be warmer weather over the weekend. One of our moves was the last weekend in January and I can't say we had anywhere near this kind of climate.

Yes, we're really lucky, and the snowstorm more or less missed us altogether! We have one inch of snow, maybe, and it's not too cold out there *carefully crosses fingers nevertheless*

Congrats, best wishes, and lots of very good luck to you!

Hope everything goes well and that you arrive with everything you left with! We lost our only comforter and blanket set once when we moved. To an uninsulated loaner apartment. In November. When we were newly married and too broke to buy another one. Can I just say, BRRRRR.

In retrospect, shouldn't have borrowed the pickup truck for the move. Too easy for things to fly out of the back.

I know things will go smoother for y'all because you are smarter than we were better organized than us. :)

Oh WAH what a nightmare!

We have hired professional movers for the day (we pack, they help move), and a very good friend of ours has taken the day off to help (he works at a helpdesk, and he's supposed to work Saturdays), and the girls will stay at a friend's for a day... It's also the first time in what, over 20 years? That I move over a distance of less that 100 miles, so I'm fairly confident. I mean, should we forget anything, we can always go back.

I'll be thinking of you *hugs*
