Not quite a goodbye but ...

Not until I was driving to the library for my volunteer stint this morning did I realize that this was going to be my last day doing this particular thing. Starting next week, of course, I will be at the library three days a week for an hour and a half each time as a resource person for the NaNoWriMo participants and to do some of my own writing. But NaNoWriMo is a special case, not my usual task of finding books that are on order from other libraries in our system, processing them and sorting them into the appropriate bins for shipping them off. That ended today, at least officially. My non-NaNoWriMo duties are cancelled for November because I will be busy with the writing thing and come December, Tom and I go into final-final prep and move mode. At that point, my trips to the library will consist primarily of dropping off bags filled with books we are donating to the book sale.

Other things moved into place this week, things like getting renter's insurance resolved and some progress on the sale of the house. In about six weeks, the apartment will be open and we will start taking things down there. Tom is talking about scheduling the movers who will handle the heavy furniture. Time apparently flies, whether you're having fun or not.

Changes are beginning to creep up on me.

The apartment exterior looks charming, but I think they should install an elevator or at least stairs. Not everyone can do that cat thing.

Fortunately our apartment building has an elevator. Because of Tom's pulmonary fibrosis, that was a necessity. Otherwise we would have seriously considered one of the apartments on Lake Monona that we viewed back in the summer.
I just hope our cats don't try that climbing thing!

Beginnings and endings.
May the transition between chapters go smoothly.

Sorry for all the stress in your life. Moving is exhausting. Hope you can find some time to relax during the next couple months.
Take good care of yourself physically. Rest when you can. I worry..............
