Moving

I took Friday off work to work on moving as you all know, and I was very productive Friday and pretty productive Saturday, today is going kind of ..... badly. I haven't accomplished very much yet. I have realized that I have a lot of stuff. Not only stuff, junk. But it's things I'm not ready to get rid of. But it's everywhere! And it's hard to try and be organized at the new place because we haven't quite decided where everything should go. I'd kind of like to bring home 3 more pallets and just stack everything in the basement except the furniture of course. Then, as we get organized we can bring stuff up and put it away as we find a place for it or need it. And anything that's still in the basement after a year we can consider giving away, except of course for such treasures as, "Why I'm Specile by Lauren Harvey" (One of the things that bugs me is when Michael calls me "stoopid" or an "idjit") and the results of my two (yes 2!) tests to see if I have a learning disorder. Those things are priceless! So today I've packed up my foodsaver and the toaster oven. And I've emptied the toaster oven holder/storage thing in the pantry. It has a name I'm sure, but I just don't know what that name is. I might try to bring it over today, but I'm not sure I can do it by myself. I know we'll need it since our new kitchen has a serious lack of storage and counter space.

Done with School!

I finished my class. Tonight we took our fourth and final test. My test scores (in order) were 100, 100, 98, 97. You can see that as class wore on I was more and more tired so my grades suffered. But the teacher said that I will end the semester with an A. He also said that if they gave A+'s I would have gotten an A+. Not bad, eh?

So, now I'm done with class and I'm soooo tired. I am not going to work tomorrow, I'm taking the day unpaid so I have a three day weekend to work on packing. Yesterday (the fourth of July) was a holiday so I did not go to work. Morgan and I spent the morning packing and cleaning and then we went out for lunch, took the boxes to the new apartment and went to the grocery store to pick up a few things since we were having people over for dinner. But, the point of this story is that the morning of packing, from 10 - 1 I got surprising little done. Packing takes forever! This is even worse than the last move. At least the last time a lot of the common stuff was staying and Morgan and I only had to move our stuff. Now everything is our stuff! There is so much stuff!

So, we've taken 2.5 car loads over so far. Today at work I got someone to give me a pallet so I could put some boxes in the basement without worrying about them getting when when it rains all day tomorrow and Saturday and Sunday like it's supposed to. We had been just putting the boxes in the kitchen because they were full of things like my childhood memories in tangible form that I brought from the Tangletree house or some of my video games and clothes we hardly ever wear and winter sheets and blankets and books which we can't unpack until we move the bookshelf. So today I put the pallet downstairs and moved all the stuff that we don't need to unpack for awhile (pretty much everything listed above except the books) to the basement. So now, when we bring more stuff over we'll have more room to put it.

Morgan's family is going to help us move, we are trying to pick a good day for it. I really hope it's sometime next week, because we're out of town the next week and the week after that is our last week in the old apartment. We have to be out by Friday, so I really want to have most of it done before we go on vacation. That's another reason I'm taking tomorrow off of work.
