Quick update

So we talked. I said what I needed to say. We were gentle and gracious with each other for a day of planning and figuring-out. 40-some hours later Dear Husband dropped me at the airport on his way back to FL to finish buttoning up the boat for a season of inattention (sailboats aren't fast enough to go out in hurricane season, so we don't).

I flew to LA, packed up the last of our apartment stuff in 3 hours, drove out of town in the evening twilight the better to avoid morning rush hour. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were 12-hour 700-mile days of driving East, plus most of Saturday. Arrived just in time to celebrate Summer Solstice on Saturday night with covenmates. Then the local UU congregation this morning, and continuing to unpack this afternoon.

It's weird to be in the house by myself, but I think that's what will be happening for the next week or more. DH and I are talking by phone, though not every day. The house is for sale, there is farmwork to do, we need to get this wrapped up.

There will, of course, by more to say as this all unfolds. But for now, peacefulness.
