Who would have thought people would come out in the rain??? Not me! But some did, and they bought some good stuff, and all in all it was a successful sale! However, we have so many things that we are going to do it again next weekend. It's hard to try and sell everything in your house in 2 days! We sold some things at crazy low prices but it's found $ and people have new stuff that they like. I'm a big fan of "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle", so I feel like we're not being wasteful even if we're practically giving things away.
This week we're packing up the RV with all of our stuff, which we've been trying to do but haven't been able to get to yet. Although I've been looking at and analyzing the storage space in "Ol' Gal" for a few months now, I still have no idea how well our things will fit. We are packing a few boxes with things like Grandma's china for shipping later, but most of our stuff is now or never! My job for today is to pack the RV. At least it stopped pouring! 2 days of intense rain and many big muddy puddles in the front of the house will make it messy but still feasible.
One big note: J. was showing some family members the RV on Saturday and when he opened the refrigerator door, he got a blast of ammonia. I looked it up online, and it probably means that somehow in the past few days the cooling mechanism broke. Big money to fix - but Ol' Gal is 23 years old, so you have to expect some things are going to stop working even though she's been pampered over the years by her first owner! J. is handling that, as he does all things technical/mechanical. I get to pack our clothes and make her look pretty! Fine with me as long as it gets fixed! We are planning on leaving within the next week or so, so hopefully we can get it done by then!
Oh, one last thing. We sold the Civic! I had a '95 Civic that I drove forever and loved dearly, but it's time to part with it after 202,000 miles. We sold it to a kid down the street who's gonna put a lot of love into it and who's very excited to have it. Makes me happy to know my baby is going to have a nice new home, but I'll miss that car!
That's all for now. We are SO exhausted and have so much work left to do that I'll keep updating but it'll be short and sweet. Sorry in advance for any grammatical or syntactical errors! My editor is tired, too!
