Well, the adventure begins. I’ve sold a lot of furniture, put the rest of my belongings in storage, and now I’m sitting in an almost empty house. All I’ve got left here is a blue folding card table, a sleeping bag and a vaccuum cleaner. I’ll make one last trip to the storage unit first thing in the morning, then a last trip to the Berkeley Dump with a few bags of trash. Finally, I’ll park the car near Sandy and Robin’s house, drop off the key and call a taxi. Which reminds me, I need to call JetBlue and ask them about the best way to prepare my backpack for baggage check-in.

I was supposed to board a plane for NY earlier today, but I had seriously underestimated the amount of packing remaining. I tried to pull an all-nighter, but when I saw I wasn’t going to make it I decided to catch some Z’s and rebook the flight for tomorrow.
