This is "Goodbye" week. From this past Sunday until Saturday we have a somewhere to be every single night of the week. A few weeks ago they all seemed a little more urgent because we were to fly out the following week. But now, it almost feels silly. "Goodbye! Goodbye! We're never going to see you again! Unless of course you happen to stop by in the next 3 weeks. We'll definitely be around."
Actually it's pretty nice. Packing is pretty much done except for the clothing. Everything we're keeping is packed away in tubs in the basement. Larger items that we're keeping are going to be taken care of by somebody else if we don't actually move it ourselves. And then all the other large furniture items that we're not keeping have been given away to those lucky sweepstakes winning friends.
Things left to do include scheduling a few more goodbye get-togethers, go to Leon's last gig (Monday July 29th at 7:30pm at the Maine State Music Theater...please come! It's selling out!) and then do whatever I want! Mwhahahahahah! Sorry. Don't know what came over me. It just seems a little crazy to say somthing like that. :)
Someone is hooking us up with a little Pimsleur language learning program, we have two phrase books and one verb book. Although Google Translate is really a lot of fun too. Then I know instantly how to say things like "Would it be ok if I kissed you?" I'll just have to make sure I don't accidentally mix that into the wrong setting, like say, when I'm talking with any of the 300 seminarians at that NAC. That would be awkward.
