It is Thursday and our idyllic vacation will end tomorrow. This weekend we begin the real work of retirement, clearing our Bronx basement of things we never really needed, do not need in Minerva, have lost their usefulness or simply never should have been saved to begin with. My husband has been very reluctant to begin this process, since he is a hoarder by nature, but the reality is that there will be no room for much of our "stuff" in Minerva. it will not be a pleasant experience, but can no longer be avoided. SIIIIGGGHHH!
