Pack rat
Hi Friends,
Well, today didn't go exactly as originally planned, but it was productive nonetheless. Got up early and after a somewhat leisurely breakfast, began the task of packing up the apartment. Had done a few boxes last night, but today I really dug into it...the place is now full of packed boxes, and actually looks like I'm moving finally. I finished both bookshelves (man, do mom and I have a lot of books!), got all the stuff off the shelves in the closet mostly, emptied out the buffet, all the dvds and cds are packed, etc. I think I did pretty well for one day by myself! Anyway, I made a good dent in things...the kitchen will be another big job, but definitely doable. I hate packing...I hate moving. :(
Thus, lost track of time while having so much fun packing that before I realized it the day was done...didn't even make it outside today. Had planned to go up to the new place to do a bit of cleaning, but I guess that'll have to wait till tomorrow afternoon...it'll be a good break from packing I guess. Also didn't get to see mom again today...I feel guilty and bad about it, but know also that what I was doing was preparing for our new home, and that can't be too bad, right? Not like I was off gallavanting around the city for my own pleasure...and we thought the guilt had abated...ha!
Now enjoying a glass of wine and watching my Thursday night medical shows (Grey's Anatomy and ER)...working another extra shift tomorrow morning, then headed to RIC for an Annual Brain Injury Course where I'll be on a panel and telling our story and answering questions...a semi spur of the moment thing...wish me luck. Then it's off to clean and scrub down the new place, and then more packing...a fun-filled day. :) Hope everyone had a great week and is looking forward to the weekend! Thanks for your continued support and love. Peace to all.
