Sie kommen nicht, I kept thinking as I stood at the bus stop waiting for Keats to arrive for the last time from his school in Tennessee.
Sie kommen nicht, sie kommen nicht! Warum?
Yes, I know I was thinking in simple present tense and what I needed was past tense, but I don't know how to think in German past tense yet. What I was trying to think was, "They didn't come." They, as in, the packers.
For the last week, my expectations for today were tantamount to a space shuttle launch at The Kennedy Space Center, and apparently they were just as effective.
Hence, our packing has been delayed two days to another figurative circle on my calendar.
Let the countdown begin...again!
