7/9

i am leaving
things feel under control
we have been packing since 6
it is basically done
i have oriented the movers
my mom's housekeeper is coming in a few hours to clean
her friend is coming around 4 to help her get out
and to have dinner with her

i am exhausted from
too little sleep
too much heavy lifting
and too many memories
i am facing a backlog of work and responsibilities back home
i have drunk more coffee in the past 4 days than the past 4 weeks
but i feel i have done the right thing
and my mom seems to feel well taken care of

a 3 hour drive
and i can rest
