Today a miracle happened. It was the miracle of being caught up on the laundry. There should be a special name for that sort of an event. Laundrymas or maybe laundvictory. Either way it hardly matters because my satisfaction was quickly squelched by the arrival of my husband (yay!) with two suitcases of dirty laundry (boo!).
It was lovely while it lasted.
One of the things I have been doing this week is making a list of things which we must do before we move. December is feeling like one long goodbye being chipped away in small icy stabs. Each farewell, each "last time" is another gouge in my heart.
We've had such a good life here. I'm sure we'll have a good life there. And yet the goodbyes keep coming.
Tomorrow we are doing one of the most important things on that list. We are going to say goodbye to our gorillas. The real treat for me tomorrow is that Amy is coming with us to see the gorillas. She's heard me talk about the gorillas and seen pictures of the gorillas, but she's never become one with the gorillas. Tomorrow is her day with the gorillas. I'm sure it will be magical.

This brings the reality right home that you're actually going. Is Amy now in charge of gorilla duty?
