today was a very long day.

it’s 10:30 as I type this and I am definitely going to bed straight after.

we packed up everything. Shana helped a TON. — seriously, we’d still be packing if not for her help (THANKS SHANA!!)

we said goodbye to the cats and dog, said goodbye to Sandy who is so good and is pet sitting until the kiddos catch their flight to Spain next week on the 26th.

we said goodbye to Pond House, which has been a good house, and to my car (Martha) that has been an extremely good car.

it’s weird to think I won’t be driving anymore–I think a lot of my identity is wrapped up in driving, being a good driver, and a lot of my mental well-being is wrapped up in car rides with loud music.

who am I without wheels?

a bus rider.

a beach walker?

someday: a scooter driver. 🙂

I’m pretty excited for that last one.

anyway, we left Vermont and drove to Boston pretty pain-free, and now we get to sleep in and fantasize about life in Spain and have anxiety about ALL the things…

here’s us at the airport today after dropping off the rental car:
