Another school year is over (+ thank God for the rains!)

We're spending the last week of May here in our provincial home before the movers come on June 1st to haul the big furniture and appliances and bring them to our city apartment. I'm getting less and less sentimental now. Thinking about the 20 years that I spent here with the husband and giving birth to and raising our kids here, it's just really time to move on. There's more opportunity in the city for all of us, not to mention the quality of education that my daughters are getting under the Cambridge curriculum and the IB curriculum. There's nothing much to complain about living in the city -- except for the horrible pollution and the horrendous traffic. Good thing the husband and the girls just walk to school. Anyways, I've finally put away most of the important documents in a suitcase. I've cleared my bookshelf too. I just need to ask my girls to help me sort stuff in their room. They've got so many sketchbooks and journals and building toys. They're officially on vacation now so I will have to impose a bit so we can move a little faster around here. I never imagined that decluttering and moving out can be this tiring, especially when you don't get a lot of help. But as my dad would say, "little by little does the trick". I just wish I had more time. We're leaving for the U.S. on June 10th and will stay there for a month. I'll have to ask our local agent to let me sort out a few more stuff when we come back in July. In the meantime, I shall spend the next 3 days here discarding and packing more items. Good thing the rains have come. It's a lot cooler now. I work best in this type of weather. See you around.
