Well, we've finally got a plan about the next couple of weeks.
• Saturday, June 26: Packing up the remainder of the small items in the house and preparing them for transport. Tomorrow night, the UK airing of the second part of the Doctor Who season finale.
• Sunday, June 27: Taking the last loads out of the house and to the farm or to our friend's house across town, leaving only furniture pieces in the house.
• Monday, June 28: Mom has surgery on her back (Lumbar Laminectomy and Spinal Fusion). We have to be at the hospital at 11:30 AM, then the procedure begins at 2. I'll be staying at the hospital until she's moved to her recovery room, then coming home to make full reports to all.
• Tuesday, June 29: Starting at 9 AM, we'll be removing the last pieces of furniture out of the house and out to the farm. The ol' homestead will be the former homestead.
• Thursday, July 1: I'll have to go thru the house with the American General rep for an appraisal. Financial red tape blows donkey...honestly.
• Sometime before the weekend: Mom should be released from the hospital to go home to recuperate.
It's all coming together. It's all real. It's really screwin' with my head.

Packing up the house...
Yeesh...moving is rough. We've been packing up the house for at least the past three weeks, and it looks like we haven't made a major dent. Granted, we horsed TWO dressers out to the farm house we're moving to (one of which, a cherry dresser, had to go up a narrow flight of stairs on a dolly), but my room is still crammed full of years of crap.
Just a short list of what I still have left: my entire DVD collections, 7 chess sets, my Wii with all my games, my big desktop computer, 24" monitor, Blu-Ray Player, almost every stitch of clothing, and my entire "Price is Right" home game and prop collection.
With all that said, we've imposed a deadline to be out of the house on June 26...a week from tomorrow. 8 days to get everything out of the house and all the utilities turned off. Can we do it? The countdown is on...
