Things to do list

UPDATE

Okay, I need to be making a to-do list. But I'd rather blog--so here is the compromise. It really is not worth reading.

Done!, I need to do!, after I'm in Australia

1. Clean baseboards that have never ever been cleaned.
2. Sell two cars, yet still manage to have at least one until we leave.
3. Meet with realtors.
4. Plant pretty flowers in the front yard.
5. Basically sell all our earthly possessions, particularly anything with a plug. Those item do not work in Australia and converters can get messy.
6. Find nice home for nice cat, who by the way is very tolerant of children.
7. Have the handyman repair all those little things that slightly annoy me but with which I have learned to live for the past year or two.
8. See my family before we leave.
