I've finally found some projects that are good to start right now. For a number of days, I was at a loss for what to do. We're coming down the wire, in terms of living in our current house. Or at least I hope so. We have yet to hear back about the home inspection results. That's frustrating! Let's just get this going already so we can close and move on! The buyer's mortgage company has not yet done the appraisal...or so I think. I expect that they need to come to our house for that. Or maybe I'm wrong. The silence is a bit deafening.

Our home stager is coming in a few days to pick up all of the items she rented to us for the staging. We certainly want to be sure she doesn't accidentally take any of our belongings. Then the moving company comes on December 15th to take our stuff, for shipment to Europe. We'll only be left with our bedroom furniture, which we'll need to get rid of. It's not in good enough shape to take to Europe. At least we'll have a bed to sleep in for a few days. Then we need to donate, give away, sell (if possible), or trash whatever is left.

Earlier today I started separating out pantry stuff to donate to a food pantry (or give away to family/friends). I'm also meal planning to use up as much stuff in our freezer/fridge, as possible. Any open items will need to be given to family/friends or trashed. I am bringing some pantry items to Europe, especially stuff that's not so easy to get there (i.e. salsa, peanut butter, etc.) We've done some work clearing up banking issues, we've ordered some mail order meds, and other tasks. I need to get a couple passport size photos for future IDs in Czech Republic, like a temporary resident ID. We will also need to further plan our road trip. Of course some snacks and other food stuffs can go with us on the road.

I'm meeting my Dad at a doctors appointment tomorrow. It's one of the only ways to add more visits before I leave. The assisted living gives so few appointments.
