My trip to Maine was spectacular and I accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish.
My flights there were uneventful, except that for some reason I got pulled aside at one security clearance and "patted down." This was BEFORE all the hoopla about groping and all. But, I'm here to tell you . . . that she TOUCHED me. She didn't even say excuse me or anything, just did it and moved on. Oh, well!
I had a garage sale and open house. The first day of the garage sale was the last day of the aftermath of some hurricane that had come to town. Still, I had a lot of people there and sold quite a bit. The second two days weren't as successful. But, I did end up selling enough to pay for my entire trip to Maine. Don volunteered to pay to ship back my twenty-three boxes . . . so, you know, I let him. I totally appreciated it, and thanked him profusely.
I ended up staying with him in the spare room, and we got along wonderfully. Had a lot of talks about the end and our former relationship, and how each of us have blossomed since we split. When he drove me back to the airport and dropped me off, he actually kissed me on the mouth. It was very appropriate. I think we both came to a better closure from the whole experience . . . I was there for ten days. I thought I already had closure . . . since I was the one to leave . . . and I did . . . but, this was even better. We love each other, but we don't belong together.
Back in Colorado
It took me a couple months to find places for the stuff in the twenty-three boxes. In fact, some of the stuff STILL doesn't really have a place! My one bedroom apartment was already quite full before these boxes came, so it was a challenge!
