i just sold the Victrola to a guy who bought his first one two weeks ago at an auction, fell in love, and wanted mine to send to his brother in South Carolina as a housewarming gift. makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. the Oliver went on Wednesday, and while i was sorry to see it go, i've still got my pristine old Smith-Corona manual to keep me company. three of the five bookcases and my dresser have also gone. i've had no bites on the ad for my printer so i'm going to post a new ad trying to barter it for a massage before i go. i'm going to try to give away my sofa, king bed frame, desk, and TV stand, and sell the kitchen table and chairs and the antique steamer trunk.

i need to get off my butt and start packing the clothes i won't need to wear before i leave, and transfer the contents of my balcony to the dumpster, but things are coming along pretty nicely, all told.
