Last Day of Garbage Sale

I'm struggling to get myself moving to head into the last day of the sale. I've done really well and I think I've sold over $300 worth of garbage. Clothes mostly. Will update the amount after we count the proceeds at the end of the day today.
Came home last night and sat in the hot tub for about an hour. My ankles and knees were screaming from standing on the cement all day.
Will post pictures next week, but I'm sure I will be playing catch up tomorrow unpacking what didn't sell and straightening up the house. (Happy Mothers Day to me!)

Why do you have a fideicomiso in Mérida, if your land is in Isla? Or do you have land in both places? Lucky you,if you do. I know you are being funny by calling it a garbage sale, but if you label it garbage, even in jest on some unconscious level you will treat it that way. Better to think of it as used goods that you are going to convert to cash. I made over $1000 usd on my moving sale and then the rest went to auction, because we didn't have the time to have sales every weekend.
good luck on your move.
regards,
Theresa

Theresa...Our lawyer set up the trust with Scotia bank. I will be checking with the Scotia bank in Cancun to see if I can pay the trust there.
Will be posting an update today on the garage sale. Did well. The reason we call it a garbage sale here is because of the saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
