The last 2 weeks of preparation

It is May 22nd, and the last week has felt a little more intense. There is a feeling of urgency, and the time for preparation is running out. The kitchen renovations downstairs are nearly done. Now selling, giving away and donating those last few things. I’m walking around the house, picking up items and asking myself, 'Do I sell, give away, or store?' Do I need this? It’s amazing how much we have that we don’t really need or want. I keep thinking about Marie Kondo’s work. Does this thing bring me joy? Urm, no, I don’t think it does. Time to go!

My mind is not thinking about sailing or the Caribbean, just all the things on the list that we have to get through so we can start this journey. I can’t even process what finishing my business and work means. My body is already thankful, but I know I’m going to miss seeing clients and friends. Michelle is away teaching her last marine training course for at least a year. I think she is just wanting to be home, packing and organizing.  We’ve been tag-teaming a lot over the last 3 months. So right now, it’s my turn to get everything done at home while she brings in the dough. The day ends the same way, taking a moment to rewrite tomorrow’s to-do list and go to bed. Bye for now.
