One more night

Wow... hard to believe this is my last night in my apartment in Nashua.
At this point I honestly thought I'd start to get all misty-eyed and melancholic (as I tend to do when a particular part of my life is over). Turns out it's not happening!
I spent the day getting rid of my bed and my dining table + chairs and had a wonderful friend over who pretty much cleared everything out that I had left over and didn't need anymore, as well as pretty much cleaning everything in the apartment for me!!!
All that's left for me to do is clean the bathroom, do a bit vacuuming, pack all that's left into the car and hand over the keys tomorrow!
I can't even begin to say how thankful I am to her for all her help, she really has taken such great care of me since I got here.
I'm heading to Portsmouth, NH tomorrow for the last concert of the mini-tour with the choir and then I'll go and stay with her and her family for my last two days in the US.
I know choir tomorrow will be very emotional but I am very much prepared for it and it won't come as a surprise. However, not getting the least bit upset about leaving here is still sort of weird to me. I guess it just means it hasn't made that much of an impression on me? I don't get it. Maybe IBM really took over my life for the entire time that I was here and just screwed everything up alongside of it. It very much seems that way.
I did get a bit choked up when I went to the library for the last time this morning. They had a library book sale and I just couldn't resist. Nevermind the fact that my luggage as it is weighs a total of about 130 pounds, if not more (I am NOT kidding). Much as I wanted to just pick "one book for reading on the plane", I ended up buying seven. Go figure. As I dropped off the last books I had borrowed I did get a little sad to leave that wonderful library behind. Without a doubt, Nashua Public Library is the best library I've ever been a member of. So many amazing books, always up to date with everything, tons of new releases and the most incredible media library I've ever seen. And ALL of it for FREE!!! Such a wonderful, wonderful institution! I will really miss it very much.
I shall try to update this blog in the next two days but it is unlikely. I'm off to the UK on Tuesday night, flying with Aer Lingus via Dublin to London. I hope they have decent food and good entertainment on board. If all else fails, I've got my trusty iPod which will keep me good company :-)
Off to sleep on my airbed now - just like when I got here! LOL
Byyyeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
