last day of work

Today was my last day at Isis. I must say that I am excited to be done with the commute. I did take the slower coast route for a while though, down the coast where the road runs right along the beach without even a row of houses between the road and the beach.....

.... pause for an announcement.... Jason and I are in the process of selling our cars. Jason is actually done with the process, and he is beginning to realize that he is a southern Californian without a car. For the past few hours he has been intermittently commenting that he no longer has a car. I am guessing that he will be over this soon, or not. I keep telling him that it should be freeing to not have a car. He does not really believe me, but I will keep assuring him. I think that he sold it out of spite so that I have to get up early with him and drive him to the office.... back to our regular programming.....

I am going to be spending the next week and a half finishing all of the things that need to be done before we get out of the house-- repairs from the request for repairs, getting ready for termite tenting, and packing. It seems impossible that we close a week from tomorrow, but it is real. Now I just need to find a time for some riding and all of the other things that I want to do before I leave that I know I will not have time for.

Jason and I had our last real meal that we will probably have in the house. No one took the open box of risoto rice on Saturday, so we cooked that up with the home made chicken stock from the freezer, tomatoes and basil from the garden, smoked scarmosa and the end of the parmesean that Chandra brought from Italy, and a cucumber salad. It was a meal worthy of our time in the house.
