We are moving way out to BFE. At the closing I asked the previous owner if they got deer in the back field. "Oh yes," she said, "until we put that fence up we had deer and cows wandering through the backyard." Huh. There is no cable service out there, thank goodness for satellite. Though, really, I could go without cable. The only way to get internet is through a satellite too, but it appears there is some issue with that. For a while I may have to do internet/email from the library - I'm sure Colin won't make that especially easy. I try to remind myself that there was a time, way back before college, that I did live without the internet.
We are taking a load of stuff that the movers won't transport (cats, plants, cleaning materials...think I can put all that in the same box?) down over 4th of July weekend, then the packers come on the 14th, loaders on the 15th and we're gone. That's two weeks away. Oh my.
How lucky I am, though, to have a house...that is not in danger of being exploded by a roadside bomb, or taken over by a militia that decides they'd like to use it now, or is about to be washed away by a flood, or burned up by a wild fire. People all over the world, and all over America would love to have my problems, so I'll just try to keep that perspective in the front of my mind for a while.
