Meeting another move manager company rep today, SortTossPack. With the momentum gained from the garage effort, I can now see how to get through this work. The overwhelmed and torn between two places feeling came when the whole was abstract, pressing down all at once. Now that we have a plan for going through the house: upstairs June-July, downstairs August-September, and we have completed one segment we are in process, rather than OMG what’s next?

We’ve still got many, many moving parts to this whole process however. Staging the home may turn out to be one of the more difficult ones with three dogs and the need to get some landscaping work done in the back. We have to fill Vega-Rigel holes and reseed grass where the dogs have caused it to go bare. Plus we’ll have to corral the dogs during showings. Which may not be easy. It might be that we’ll have to board them during open houses and important showings. But, that’s all next year.

We have a realtor coming on June 9. We’ll get some idea of what our house and land might be worth. We have the meetings I’ve mentioned here before with our financial consultants, Ruth and R.J. this month, too. Kate will head out to Colorado in late June or early July to meet with a Colorado realtor and literally begin to get a lay of the land.

In addition to all this reality show material I’ve been considering what sort of Stetson and cowboy boots I should buy.  My books on the West and Colorado have to get concentrated into one place. It will take a couple of years of reading to get my intellect settled into a new area. Trips of exploration and plenty of historical and geological and horticultural reading, too.
