Four documents need to go to Richmond to have the notaries verified, and my birth certificate has to go to Kentucky.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to give away two book cases and a filing cabinet, which has been a matter of people not showing up (furniture dealer who was just sure he wanted all the stuff I was giving away and who would call me when he was in the area and who I called twice to find out what his plans were), not having a truck or van lined up before asking if they could have the filing cabinet, and two people who want the filing cabinet and who have or don't have the required two people and the van or truck necessary to get a free filing cabinet. If I ever do this again in the US, I'm doing to wait until several people email and then say first one over here with means to get the thing out of my house gets it and I'll email the others that they've missed the freebie. I understand Free Cycles have a number of no-shows, too. I'll ask if the person has a truck already lined up before committing to giving that one the freebie, though the guy who had a truck was supposed to be coming by at such and such a time and didn't.
The other stuff -- I've had inquiries but no takers. I'm planning a yard sale for the weekend, and need to pack some more of the stuff I'm keeping tonight or tomorrow night after I get back from Richmond. I don't expect the Kentucky paperwork back until Monday or Tuesday, which will mean Wednesday running around in DC, which means I need to have everything out or packed by Tuesday. Thursday a week from this Thursday, I'm flying to Nicaragua.
