Chicago and clock ticking

My thoughts are almost entirely with transition and future; it's hard to focus on the here and now but it's demanding and "in your face" so I must. It seems like there's so much more I should do before I go but the clock is ticking down.  It's time to super prioritize and understand what matters most and do only those things.  I Am so thankful and buoyed by the love in my life, it makes even the toughest decisions and chores easier.

Great news, I've got an offer on the house in Houston, it's now under contract and scheduled to close by the end of July or earlier if possible.  This one act made a lot of things easier and sped up the timeline too which I feel so fortunate for.  Tons more prep work to make this happen but it's exactly what I want - really have wanted for years.  It's bittersweet too though.  I've never lived anywhere in my life as long as I've lived here and it's been home with lots of great memories.

Quick trip to Chicago this week.

Being greeted at the airport by some jazz makes it uniquely Chicago O'Hare.

Back home:

If it's dirty clean it

If it doesn't fit give it away

If it's broken fix it or get rid of it

If it's out of style, give it away

If it's duplicate or triplicate get rid of the extras

If is not necessary to daily life pack it

If it's jumbled up fold it

If there's a better or modern version replace it

If it's overgrown trim it

If it's the first time you've noticed it in a year get rid of it

If it's years old paperwork shred it

Well you get the idea, who hasn't moved at some point in their adult life.  Two weeks and counting.
