Thanks, y'all, for the support for my Wed-Thurs trip from Mexico back to the US.  Since I buy the cheapest plane tickets, I get long layovers in a couple of airports along the way.  This trip was no exception, as started 6am Wednesday and didn't end until 2:30am yesterday, Thursday.  After picking up my mail the post office had held for me, I crashed on my couch to sleep all day yesterday. 



Today I met with a guy who agreed to buy my car, my biggest piece of business in wrapping up business in the US in these last 2 weeks here before retiring to Mexico for good in July.  I'm pulling of this international retirement move solo, so your support for it here is deeply appreciated.

Sorry I wasn't on DS yesterday. Moving work has gotten urgent since I give up my apartment in a week and have a non-refundable plane ticket back to Mexico for then. I was up until 1am with moving work last night and up at 8am to have my car inspected at a garage so I could sell it. Whew!

I wrote a friend here in a private message that moving got ugly today as it was time to sell my guitars. I sold 2 for peanuts, and it wasn't just the dollar value, it was like giving up my children to foster care.

But I got it done, I'm proud to say. As soon as the parts come in for my car to pass inspection, that goes, too. I'm a lot more sentimental about guitars than cars, though, that's the Hispanic side of me coming out over my inner gringo US citizen.

What's different about this move from all others in my life before it is that this time is that in moving from the US to Mexico I can't just load everything up into a truck and cart it to my next home. This time I can only take what I can fit into suitcases, so it means I have to purge lots of stuff--like the guitars.

But that was yesterday. Today in the work of purging stuff for moving I went through lots of photo albums and stuff I hadn't really looked at for years. It was a good trip down memory lane I hadn't taken in a long time.

I am tired, though. Whew! This moving all by yourself is strenuous for an old man like me.

Muji if we were there you know we would all pitch in to help. I hope you don’t overdo it. If you need to leave some stuff undone then it is what it is.
It’s hard parting with some stuff I know. It’s not just possessions but memories and affection you have to part with if you’re anything like me. I have affectionate memories of some of my things or I struggled and went without other things to get them.
Just believe you are parting with them to make room for your new better life. A fresh new start.

Thanks Loo, thanks rose. Today was my last USA supermarket visit. I was careful not to buy perishables beyond what I'll use up when I travel back to Mexico for good on Wednesday. Wow, USA prices for groceries are double the grocery prices in Mexico. Good thing I like it there so much or I wouldn't be able to survive here after July when I go from full salary to half that income on my retirement pension. If not for Mexico, I couldn't retire at all. I'm grateful.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
