A Fitting Way To Leave

7.20 40 mins. Started work on Aubrey’s house with a trip to the laundrette and finished 14 hours later in the kitchen. I completed 24 tasks off my to do list and cleaned the house from top to bottom and front to back. It was a fitting way to move out and, because I was busy all day, there was no time at all to get emotional. I took regular breaks and crossed the items off my list as I went. Tom came round to drop off his wedding present and wished me well, telling me to keep in touch. Karaj picked me up and I left the house satisfied with the work I had done and as ready as I could be to move on.

[Karaj: Good.]
