Day two of the “moving sale.” Only three people showed up today. The second guy made a ridiculous offer on my 10-speed which I turned down. I couldn’t believe he offered ten dollars for the bike. Ray stayed the whole afternoon with me. For the most part, we sat on the couch under the electric blanket. It was so cold that we couldn’t really feel the heat from the blanket. We tried packing some things in the bedroom, but it was too cold to keep at it. I hope I can finish packing and get my things out of there within the next week. I’m anxious to settle down and have a place of my own to stay in. I just hope I have the energy to find a place and get moved.
It was hard to look through the house and find most of my things gone. It really gives a sense of the end being near. Soon there won’t be anything left - just me and my faith in God. That’s something that no one can take away from me. I guess that is the only really important thing in this life. That’s all the apostles had when they set out to preach - what a legacy to mankind.
Luis is going to pick me up in the morning so we can go to Salt Lake looking at apartments. I can’t wait to get this move over. Then maybe I can find something to do with my life but waiting to die. Ray is still talking about moving to Salt Lake if I do. That would be nice if he is able to swing that. I still think I would feel isolated if I moved there. Maybe I would see Luis more often if I did. How do I make a new life when mine is almost over?
