Saturday morning was back to the great counter hunt. Got more info but nothing that helped me make a decision. I’m going to try again tomorrow. I took the afternoon off and went to an interesting presentation at the City of Asylum, a wonderful Pittsburgh group, who gave us insight into Iran from a journalist, a poet and several musicians. It was good to have several hours free from thinking about my move.
Today was a packing day. I’ve been working in the kitchen and it occurred to me I will pack almost the entire kitchen with the exception of 2 shelves of dishes, two partially filled cabinets with dry foodstuffs and a drawer with flatware. I won’t miss any of the other stuff. It’s almost tempting to get rid of it, but I guess I would want it if I have a party. Hard to decide what I really need as opposed to the stuff I’ve just been dragging around with me.
