many, many cups of tea needed...

OK, I am about comatose, and I went to bed early.

Well, perhaps I should clarify 'early'. soccer_fox, gr_c17, and john_arundel, and I all went over to the old house to help redactrice and shy_kat pack up and move the last of their things. I got there a little after 7; the others followed shortly thereafter. We spent a good five hours packing, tidying, humping stuff out to the cars, and generally trying to help out. We broke up around half midnight, with most dispersing to their homes (B very kindly dropped N off at our place, having picked her up on the way down), while I drove into town with the grrls to convey a load of goods, and I got to ma bed aroun' 1.30. C was going *back* for one more load, with some more work for them to do this morning.

The cleaners were coming this a.m., with the buyer doing final walk-through at 1 before the closing at 3. I am just PRAYING that there isn't some last-minute hitch that makes the buyer cavil and cause trouble.

We were going to go out for a celebratory dinner, but I think we will all be so beat that we'll do that another time.
