That's All, Folks...
This is it, tonight is my last night at 3740 Albert Street. And it's going to be a long one - I don't plan on actually going to sleep, although I may pass out around 10am tomorrow if I get enough done tonight. How on earth I'm going to get everything - including a queen sized mattress and 8 boxes so far - packed up tightly enough to fit it all in the back of the truck (canopy, not camper) is beyond me. That's Richard's job. I'm going to be busy swabbing the deck.
I had a wonderful lunch today at work, a "goodbye" party even though I'm at the office until Thursday next week, and I'm not leaving, exactly, just working from a lot farther away! Tomorrow night we go out with the family for Richard's birthday, and I move in with my folks for a week. A few more days at the office, a few more nights to catch up with friends here, and then next Saturday I'm gone... off to Pritchard care of my parents who are coming up to see the house for the first time.
Right now, I have to make dinner (using up as much of the perishables left in my fridge as possible - look out, Dagny, it's mash for dinner) and Dag and I are going to hang out while I pack. And clean. And find my marbles, which I seem to have lost earlier this week. Aaaghh!!!!
Might need to make that emergency call to Mom tomorrow morning, after all.
So, off to the kitchen to cook my last meal before the dishes go in yet another box. Next time I write it will be on Mom's computer, or in Pritchard on -shudder- Telus dial-up. It's the big day already. Wish us luck!

Hey, good luck.
If you have time call me or leave me a message with your parent's number this week. I noticed that you have already diconnected your phone.
We will also need your new mailing address and phone #. We are already looking forward to our first visit! Olivia has never been on a road trip.
