HeHeHe....today's date looks like it could be a math equation.  

I am taking a minute to start the daily in order to procrastinate doing some online stuff for work.  But only a minute as I really have to get this stuff done.  

I flew home Friday night to pick up some things from the house.  I wanted to get a few more things out before next week.  I fly back next Saturday and will be doing the final purge and clean with my brother and sister-in-law.  Then someone will come take the bigger items away.  Then the house will go on the market.  It is kind of sad.  I didn't grow up in the house but seeing all the things my parents have lovingly kept over the years with no where to go (us kids don't want them all) is sobering.  It also is a great reminder that things are not as important as experiences and people.  

I know there are boxes of stuff from my childhood in the attic.  I have not needed them up to this point so my challenge will be to let them continue to not be in my life.  I might bring back my very first teddy bear if it is in any condition to travel.  My mom has told me I used to sleep on it when I was a baby.  (It is a flatter designed bear)  But if I do bring it back it will sit in a box and then, hopefully years from now, someone else will have to deal with it.  So this will be my challenge next weekend.
