Three hours and counting

It is just after 11:00am. I have been up since four o'clock. Anxiety,... excitement,... kept me from sleeping. I had so much to do still. So I got up and put the coffee on. This would be the last pot of coffee I will make in Ontario. I had a shower and then did all the laundry. Once the laundry was dry I finished packing. Or at least I think I have finished packing. Knowing me, I will re-do another 3 times before I go.

I woke up to great news. Hayley is coming here at noon to help me check in on-line and check my luggage. She is a well seasoned traveller and knows a lot more about flying than I do. She'll know what I can and cannot take just by looking at it. I have to confess, I feel a bit relieved knowing she will be 'giving the inspection' that all is ok. I am also just thrilled because I get to say good-bye. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to do that. 

A few more people have picked up stuff. And the remainder will be taken to charity by a neighbour. So in the end, I got it all done except my old carpet. It's too big for me to deal with so I will have to leave that behind for housing to deal with. But their maintenance are big burly guys so I don't mind passing this one job on to them. The rest of the apartment will be left clean and empty.

So,... three hours and counting.

I will catch you on the west coast the next time I write.
