No problems at the Canadian Border. I actually had prepared a blog post Sunday the 29th and was to publish it on the 30th but I was extremely tired. I will get back to it.<\/p>\n<p>We arrived home about 1PM on the 30th. Together we carried load after load into house. I have done 19 laundry loads in this past week.<\/p>\n<p>We are freezing cold here and swing both the furnace and the fireplace at times throughout each day. The girls certainly knew where they were. They chased each in our yard for almost a full 10 minutes. The were happy to be back. I think they would be happy to be wherever we are.<\/p>\n<p>I had braced myself for coming into the house. I was a bit sad but realized that selling the house was the way to a new future and adventure for us.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday we listed our home for sale.<\/p>\n<p>When I had a few spare moments here and there I began a pile of things to sell at the garage sale. We had so many things. I had to keep borrowing tables &#8211; in the end we had seven tables. Somehow no photos were taken. Special tanks to Cindy, Dianne and Kelly for their help.<\/p>\n<p>Friday Colin moved the RV back to storage and I spent the day pricing items. Two of my friends told me that I had to be prepared to let things go at much lower prices. The first few times I was speechless and in shock to see some of my special things go for peanuts so to speak. In was a success. We made just over $1000.00 at the sale and I have since sold $500.00 of larger items on Marketplace. It&#8217;s not over I still have hundreds of items to sell.<\/p>\n<p>I have been going to bed as early as 9PM. We are both exhausted. doing so much in such a short period to time. I stood from 7:30AM last Saturday until about 2PM. I could barely walk. The next morning I had trouble walking but I have lubricated the old joints and I am once again on the go.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday I started listing the larger items on Marketplace. Within half an hour I was inundated with emails from people wanting to buy what I had listed. I was on the computer most of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Early Monday morning it was time for my annual vein treatment. Just over 40 jabs. I do the left leg next Monday. After that I will have to get my treatments done in Mazatlan. I believe that that will be an adventure\u00a0\ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>Monday early afternoon, our realtor came by for a detailed tour. Tuesday ( today the 7th ) we had our first showing at 11AM. We spent the rest of Monday and Tuesday morning cleaning. We were trying to declutter the house. So Colin got my car from storage and we stuffed the Lexus with &#8220;stuff&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The people loved our home but of course have to make decisions re our home and their future. Que sera sera\u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>I finally had time this afternoon to finish up the Marketplace stuff. The rush is over until we list more items and we still have a lots to sell.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I have no choice but to start our taxes. Both personal and the company year end. We also have to decide if we are no longer working through CJPS INC. Of course Colin has some jobs lined up. Big decisions to be made.<\/p>\n<p>Both Thursday and Friday we have appointments for half the day.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see I have had no option but to juggling many things right now.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for sticking with me and your many emails and comments asking me &#8216;que pasa&#8217;. Of course I will go back and catch up. But right now I can only deal with each day as it happens.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5076\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/index.php\/2024\/05\/07\/real-time-update\/img_6286-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5076\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5076\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5076\" src=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_6286-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_6286-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_6286-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_6286-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_6286-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_6286-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_6286-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_6286-285x215.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5076\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Either last night or the night before.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sorry no time to check for any errors in this post.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We arrived home a week ago today, last Tuesday, April 30th.
