We finished. My friend can have his life back once the keys are handed over to the bank rep tomorrow. They'll give him the money for cleaning up, he'll take whatever paperwork they have and get code enforcement off his back. And he'll move on, getting unpacked, settling in, cooking, doing computer stuff, selling on eBay, but not in thrall to the house that was spiraling downward faster and faster.

I have a lot more stuff here for a garage sale; Susie mentioned it again today when she picked up Zeke. I have as much as will come from my friend's house, now I need to round up my stuff, arrange it in the garage and get ready to move it out into the driveway. That's my next big thing here, and it will be nice to clear out some of this stuff.

This week, I'll catch up at work and here at the house. I need the break.
