This will be a quickie since both Cindy and I are exhausted. The movers come tomorrow so today we have been getting organized. We thought this would be a piece of cake and that we would be done by noon and then we would go someplace special for lunch. It is now four and we have been at it almost non-stop since 8:30. This shouldn’t have been so difficult since we’ve only been here eleven months; we have no furniture and we really haven’t accumulated lots of stuff. One of the things we had to do first was to figure out what we needed to keep since we’ll be going to Tallinn and Riga for five days and then be back here for two more. We really found that we didn’t need much so we placed everything in one closet and closed it up.
While Cindy ran, I remade the bed with the linens that were here when we arrived and then I packed up our linens, pillows and duvet for the move. Had to do three more loads of laundry to get all the towels washed, dried and packed and then we had to wash the ones that were here when we arrived. Lordy, I’m not going to miss this washer/dryer.
We took a break and took a short walk to get a nice espresso before coming back to finish off our packing. I still have to work through the fridge and use everything up over the next several days, but that should be easy. As difficult as this is, it is still very exciting to know that we are almost out of here.
I suspect the members of The 54 Club are just ecstatic with the report in today’s paper about a new ORGANIC VODKA! To think that all these years they have been drinking inorganic vodka. I think they are going to have to have a really cool marketing plan to get Russians to spend more on vodka because it is organic.
Never let it be said that the Russians are a forgiving lot.
Ciao, Cindy and Wm.
