Getting ahead of myself

I want to listen to Christmas songs now. But if I do that, I'll be all Christmassed out by early December. *sigh*

More packing

I'm almost done with the books. After those are boxed, it's just the kichen, the bedroom closet, and a living room full of tchotchkes.

Oh, hey - does anyone want my old sleeping bag?

Digging out the other window seat

I've been using it as a combined bedside table and computer desk, so it was piled high with crap. I knew about that. What I didn't remember was the cache of stuffed animals I left in there. Or just how much of my schoolwork I'd kept. Or the aged periodicals.

Most of the schoolwork I put down the chute. The stuffed animals are going to Raphael House tomorrow. I'm about to sort the periodicals, and must be firm in my resolve and make them go away. I'm moving into a postage stamp, I must chant. I'm moving into a postage stamp.

damn, I have a lot of crap.

eta: that stack of aged periodicals turned out to be the newspapers for the week of the '89 quake, starting the Sunday before. Which is very interesting stuff, but I don't think I want to keep them all any more...

Logistics

The appliances arrive the 16th (not sure what time of day).
A handyperson is coming the afternoon of the 16th to attach the bookcases to the walls.

Tomorrow I call around for movers. I want to do a two-stage move: on the morning of the 16th, shift the big bookcases to the apartment and the books to the basement. Then later - like, that Friday or the next Monday - move everything else.

To-do this weekend: charity run; shift window seats & small bookcases to & from The Place Of Painting; paint; pack more stuff.

I'm forgetting something.

Appliances 2-nite!

M and went to Sears and bought a washer, a dryer, and a refrigerator. They are to be delivered the 16th.

It's amazing how happy-making a few common household appliances can be.


Today's earrings: irons, kitchenaids
