still in limbo

I received a few emails this week asking how things were going in Zurich. I didn't mean to mislead anyone - I know that I told people that Mark was heading back on January 6th and that I would likely be heading over around the middle of the month - but I also must admit that I have enjoyed flying under the radar and not being so accessible for a change.

Of course my mother knows I'm still here and calls and/or stops by daily to see how she can help/(attempt to) motivate me, etc... She will be calling any moment to discuss the details of the showing of my house she has arranged for today. That will be 2 official showings to two official buyers (versus the those who have looked to rent the place). Please, let these people fall in love with the place and make an offer so I can begin to cross off at least one of the huge items from my to-do list... (some of the others: find an apt. in Zurich / sell Audi / sell furniture / figure out COBRA / figure out how to forward mail / go through every peice of clothing, every book, every scrap of paper and decide whether it's going to Z., needs to be thrown away, recycled, given to Goodwill, going to be stored in my mother's barn, etc ...)

Okay, so now I am exhausted from writing that list yet I feel a very strong urge to go get coffee, turn on some Clash or Beastie Boys and work towards being able to cross something off the damn list before the end of the day. With breaks, of course, as I had some minor surgery on my leg on Thursday and am not really supposed to be on it for long periods of time ... never a dull moment with me, kids. Stick around as it's bound to get more exciting with each day that passes... and if you know anyone with a kick-ass apartment in Zurich ... drop me a line, won't you?
