July 30th – Countdown

The past few days have been a tired blur of packing, lifting, selling, and driving. We have spent the weekend packing an endless amount of “necessary items” and somehow ended up with 11 bags with sizes ranging from large to Winnebago. The bags can only be a certain weight and we can only store a certain amount at Sarah’s parents place, so we have made multiple trips to Value Village to bless the community with our hand-me-downs. I’m looking forward to hearing about a former student to show up at school wearing Mr. Muller’s gently-used dress shoes.
The packing pattern consisted of filling the bag, closing the bag, weighing the bag, opening the bag, rearranging the bag, closing the bag, weighing, opening, readjusting, closing, etc. until each bag was a trim 32kg or 70.5 lbs.
We eventually gathered our belongings, cleared the apartment of all things Muller, handed over the keys, and broke a window. Our damage deposit was ready to be returned in full, but thanks to Dave losing a battle with a grocery cart, our co-op needed to readjust the figure. Off to Belleville for a sleepover before we jump on a plane!
