The List...of "To Do"

I've been focusing today on getting a list together of all the things that I must do, that must happen before I leave in June.  I'm finding that if I write it down, it doesn't overwhelm me as much.  And y'all can hold me accountable for getting this stuff done.  :-)

  • make driving plans to NYC - I'm driving so that I can take more luggage with me and so my sweet pug doesn't have to be on three different planes.
  • sell/donate all my crap from my house that isn't going with me, including in the attic, the garage, and my closet.  Garage sale, coming soon!
  • attend the court date that will make my divorce finalized...TBD.  This will then set the ball in motion for all of my immigration paperwork to be finalized, as they are "patiently" waiting for this divorce decree to do so.  I might also mention that this will finalize my departure date, as well.  It's such a thrill having that hanging up in the air.
  • finish dental/doctor appointments:  teeth cleaning, follow-up to a second root canal, wisdom teeth removal, lady doctor fun, and a mammogram to check out a lump I recently found.  Joy.
  • sell my car - anyone looking to buy a killer blue 2007 Mazda 3 with lots of fun extras?
  • work both jobs relentlessly so I can keep saving money.
  • train the princess to survive in a kennel...finalize her trip plans, including buying her plane ticket.
  • pack my life into three suitcases.
  • see as many people as I can before I go.  This should probably start happening soon, as the time is quickly winding down.
I'm quite sure this isn't all, and the day to day to do list definitely never ends.  But I can do it, right?  I'm looking towards a month or two long vacation once I arrive in Israel, so the prize at the end of this will be worth it.  Or shall I say at the beginning of this?  Since Israel will be the huge, beautiful beginning to a new chapter in this life.  Time to rest up so I can get crackin' again!
