The Goodwill truck came and left yesterday morning carting away a tonfull of memories - children's books from more than a decade ago (which have somehow followed us with each house move), broken printers, keyboards, a stringless guitar, a washer/dryer that had sat in my garage for four years as 'decor', two (dead) UPS units, 1 lamp shade with gaping holes, 1 tarnished kinakalawang chandelier, a TIRE (!), giant stuffed toys, moldy bags, moldy shoes, and CLOTHES, CLOTHES, and more CLOTHES.
This morning, two men came and pulled out my AC unit, cleaned it, prepared it for its one-year storage (the place I'm moving to has its own ACs with no more extra hole for the one I have).
This afternoon, I said goodbye to my backdoor neighbor - White Cross Children's Orphanage. I did the one thing I should have done four years ago - I inquired about their volunteer services and was given the grand tour by Gloria the social services officer. I met all the little kids whose shouts, cries and laughter I've lived with every morning when I have my breakfast and every evening before I go to bed. (It so happens the ward for the 1 to 2 yr old kids faces the back of my unit. I finally met all 19 babies!)
Tomorrow is our last day at Luxor. It's also Luis' Graduation day.
