We are at Harry’s place right now. His roommates haven’t arrived yet, still. His room is all set up and it looks great.
Next stop is lunch with Bellana. Not sure if we will get to see her place today. We’ll see.

And Again
After three trips to Vermont in just over two weeks, guess what Jen and I are doing today…
Yup. Vermont bound once again.
Road trip city, boys and girls! Let’s go!!!
New Place
He’s the first of the roommates to move in. The van and car are unloaded and the bed and desk are partially reassembled.
Stopped
I was hoping to make the whole drive without stopping but my back insisted on a break.
Ready
The cars are packed. Harry just left. I’m giving him a smidgen of a head start then I’ll follow.
I have a metric tonne of gastric bypass friendly food and drinks piled up in the cab of the transit van. 95% will be ignored, but it’s there if I need it.
I have music, podcast, and audiobook playlists armed and ready but I haven’t decided what to listen to first. Maybe the new Stephen Stills live record?
A coworker said yesterday, after I shared the events of the road trip fun with him, there’s no denying that empty nest now. Yup. As of today it’s officially official and once again I am equal parts excited for the kids and sad for me and Jen.
Okay…. Time to get rolling. Burlington, VT here I come.
Road Trip #3
Raise your hand if you’re about to head out on your third trip to Vermont in less than two weeks.
*Raises hand.
Also, raise your hand if your current plan includes going back for a fourth trip two days from now.
*Raises hand.
I love me some road trippin’.
Rear View
This weeks rental truck for the move up to Burlington, VT is free from the tyranny of a rear view mirror*.
*there are side mirrors, of course, and a teeny tiny back up camera display. No word on Apple CarPlay though. Fingers enthusiastically crossed on that one.
Random Burlington Pics
Just a few random pics from yesterday’s surprise trip to Burlington, VT.
That was a Day
Her old apartment was on the second floor. Her new apartment is on the third floor. So many stairs.
If today’s events had happened a year ago, pre gastric bypass, I probably would have died of a massive heart attack by lunch time. I was very pleased that I got to help Bellana in a time of need. I’m also very pleased that I was physically able to pull it off without dropping dead. That felt good, though I’m in tons of pain tonight and I’ll probably sleep until dinner time tomorrow and tonight’s very late dinner gave me the foamies and I’ll probably need another hour to recover.
I wish Jen had been with me, but outside of that it was a really good day.
Moving Day
The first of two moving days in Vermont. The second is next week.
