Crunch time here at Casa de Mojo. We’re wrapping up our keep/sell/trash mode by selling a lot of stuff on Craigslist, garage sales and even a Twitter sale. Our packing is ongoing as boxes are scarce. Apparently I am in an unspoken contest for boxes at our nearest grocery store with another customer so when the truck arrives Tuesday/Thursdays I will be waiting like a hungry scavenger looking for scraps & bones. Yes, I am too cheap to buy boxes.
All utilities except for power are scheduled for shut-off. Services are suspended or transferred to Texas.
As if I don’t have enough on my plate by migrating to Houston, I’m still taking on extra activities such as a few portrait sessions, conference planning sessions, and meetups. How ironic is it that the people I see online here locally and am big fans of, I finally meet and then I split? If you aren’t reading Ike, Brian, Lauren or Kenny then you have no taste. Honestly. There are way too many more friends over the past 5 years to mention here. I mentioned before that the hardest part about leaving Birmingham is the people and it is truer now than when I said it. The Esmans have been a real blessing lately because they have adopted our dog, Allie and even granted me a few photo gigs.
The rest of the week will be fast & furious with more of the same, plus we are flying to Chicago for the weekend for Wonderwife’s family reunion with people we see every 5 years or so. We’re back on Sunday night but then I am driving the girls to Houston on Monday, flying back to Birmingham on Tuesday, finishing up business here, loading the moving truck & heading out for Texas on Friday.
I’m considering taking up several generous offers of loading up the van with promises of adult beverages next week. If you are interested, let me know.
thanks to Werner for the photo
