Fumiko is arriving today! I have cleaned the house, emtied her side of the closet, and put some rice to cook. She's just closed up her life in Tokyo, where she has been for three and a half years (since January 2004, but here for the summer of 2004). It must be hard for her to do this. She's been shipping stuff here by seamail, but still not cheap. I wonder if she remembers how much of her stuff is still here from before...
I've been avoiding doing much about the transition to Canada, waiting for her to join me here and participate in these decisions. Even fairly trivial ones, like what to throw away, is hard for me, it seems -- or perhaps I'm just using this as an excuse to avoid unpleasant stuff. Since I retired three months ago, I have done some reorganizing (new file cabinet, etc.) and throwing out. But not nearly enough. There are mountains of books, papers, clothing, household bric-a-brac to deal with.
