Yesterday it was a cool 80-ish. Lovely to be out after the hot yoga session. It's a tough season to be moving away. When we moved from Europe to Florida, it was winter, a perfect time to move away.
This move is starting to feel like a drag. I will miss many things about Florida. We do have a comfortable life here, even if it isn't exactly exciting. Visited the springs with family - our second time this summer (it has been a busy one). We didn't manage to go tubing - first time that we didn't make it there before the crowds (we dawdled over breakfast) - but checked out the Rainbow Springs headsprings. It is a very nice park atmosphere, complete with barbeque pits. Had to take the requisite dip in the water even if the weather wasn't so warm. As Hubby would say - very refreshing.
Got into a little disagreement with the landlord. We had agreed to some terms with the termination of the lease. We have gotten along well so far, and I have worked hard to make sure the house looks presentable to his potential new tenants and buyers. We wanted to extend our leaving date half a month, but he informed us that he's already found new tenants. Naively we asked if we would be released from some rent responsibilities. Turns out that he saw the extra rent we would pay as an early termination fee. Should have asked those questions earlier. Would be surprised to see our deposit returned.
Need to find some way to motivate myself to see this through. The thing is though, the paperwork for Asia is taking much longer than we planned. We'll have to shack up with the parents for a bit, I think. At least they'll enjoy having the grandchildren around (I hope)...
