August, 18, 2025 = This makes me almost cry to read. I had such a perfect life on Reno, I never should have left.
November 2021
Well, this time I am finanally doing it! I’m gonna sell the ole condo and move to NorCal.
The Official Plan is to get it on the market in March/April and take off on a long road trip that will eventually take me to my 50(*) Harvard undergrad Reunion in Cambridge MA.
(*) Actually 50th should have been two years ago, but got blown up by COVID. So this is really the Biggest 52nd Reunion Ever!
In the weeks before Christmas I started the grunt work.
First step is to make a pass through the ancient crap I have saved from previous decades and stuffed in the downstairs storage area. The goal is to winnow it down to maybe a third less ancient crap.
- some old grade school and high school stuff
- quite a bit of college stuff – notebooks and papers
- even some of my sisters college stuff
- lots of Martha stuff, cute drawings and some high school stuff
- a tub of old photographs
- random keepsakes
- four boxes of hanging folders of old stuff winnowed down to two boxes!
I did a pretty good job of that. Around the time the holiday swirl took over I had moved on to winnowing the books. I kinda lost momentum around then, so from early December to late January I didn’t do much, but step around half-organized boxes in my living area. Sigh…
Call a realtor – hard to dump the old one, but I did.
Small steps – take out the round table, opens up that area
Salv Army trip always stressful
get serious
REALly get serious, arrange for Chad to come help.
Finally, mid may, Chad and Brett and the trailer come. Salv Army run, get rid f a lot of big stuff – sofa, exercycle, wicker stuff, matresses. Then drive to Peta, to Lakeville Sto, dump it all off.
Synergy with Home Hub. Lotsa stuff goes there.
