To Do...
Our to do list is actually shrinking as we accomplish a lot. Things left to do can be summarized into several major categories 1) complete canine transition, 2) legal and financial matters, 3) packing and shipping things that are going or staying here, 4) finding a place to live, and 5) saying goodbye.
1) As mentioned before in a previous post, "Our animals consist of two cats and two dogs (one Border Collie, Jake and one Shetland Sheepdog, Tim). The two cats and Tim will remain living with Jen's parents and Jake will be going over to my Mom's and brother's house, where my 15 year-old brother (who is a high school football player and on the track team) will run Jake until they are both exhausted."
On Tuesday, Jake moves in with my Mom and brother. It's going to be sad to see Jake go and Jen has decided that it's better if she doesn't go with me when I take the dog, bones, food, leash, etc.
2) We established our safe deposit box and have made a variety of arrangements for our finances but there's still some organizational things yet to do.
3) Packing! Ugh! We'll muddle through it. I really want to ship a lot on Monday because the sooner we mail things, the sooner we'll see it on the other end.
4) Well, we're still homeless from June 26 through August 1. Jen's put out a notice on the email listserv for apartment hunting in Jerusalem. We'll see if we get any bites as the work day (Sunday) begins in Israel very soon (as I'm writing this it's just 8 a.m. on Sunday there, the first day of the work week).
5) We have some people to see here locally before we go and I expect that we'll spend all day a week from Monday on the phone, saying our goodbyes to relatives.
