The sorting continues

Posted at 2:37 pm under Preparation for Fulltiming

I am the world’s best procrastinator and it has set in again.  The first part of our downsizing and sorting went beautifully, easily. The few things left in the house are necessities until we close and lock the doors and leave, except for the paperwork…. We shredded and sorted a lot of it… but we have more to go.  I got bored scanning, mainly because the scanner is painfully slow. Today I have to start scanning again…and I have put it off via emails, writing a poem, posting on the blogs, searching the internet, and so on.  I can put it off no longer.  Wait! I can, I can sort through more papers to mail that we know we are not scanning due to size or amount. Yes, I will separate them, box them temporarily, we may need a stronger box.

We put off putting the house on the market because we couldn’t get enough stuff done fast enough, even with our friends rushing over to help last weekend. We may put it on in a day or so, but may end up just leaving it with a relative and going to Florida without buying the RV first…. Not our original plan, but flexibility may as well be practiced now, I am sure we will need it once we buy our RV.

Yes, we are moving to Florida, declaring residency there and Leon is changing careers. We will be closer to family and farther from the weather we love….  but he should be able to work only 5 months or so a year and we will be able to RV most of the year as a result… an extended vacation. Can’t beat that.

Without the house sold on time, we have to forgo buying the RV until it is, but that just gives us more time to get confused which RV we want that is affordable (to us).  We want a Class A Safari Trek, but it is gas, and we want diesel for the mountains we will be traveling twice every year.  We also want a class C with a truck body, 4 wheel drive…. I am sure there is more out there we would want that I just haven’t found yet..

So, we have just lost 2 partial work-on-the-house days due to his current job in the next week, but it may be a welcome break from painting and cleaning, right?  We gained 2 full days by scheduling his last two vacation days soon so we can work hard those two days.  So, if he is working that hard, I need to scan that hard…. heehee…

OK, procrastination for today is over…. Off to sort, scan, and clean something…
