7 Days to Go

I can tell you are concerned about my lack of packing so I made it a priority today. I spent the morning running errands, picking up boxes, getting newspapers, making a stop at the bank and the post office. I had several things to get in the mail and needed to fill out change of address forms. I had written my g'ma a letter a few weeks ago, and carried it around in my pocketbook without ever mailing it. I wrote another one last week to go with it, to update her on all our activities. At the post office, I grabbed the two yellow sheets and put them in an envelope and mailed them but when I got home, I found one of the two letters in my pocketbook still. I had to call G'ma and tell her I have no idea what I just mailed her, but it could be all kinds of moving information that I had written down. Oh.My.

I decided which plants I'm taking with me and which I'm giving away. I packed 90% of my room, including my bathroom. I have almost all of the living room packed up. My former co-worker K came by tonight and she helped me pack up all of LM's books and a bunch of stuff from the kitchen. I need to get more newspaper to get the kitchen finished up.

I spoke with the piano movers tonight, we're confirmed for the move, but they'll let me know if they are going to come Thursday night or Friday afternoon. I had an email from church friends saying they are coming to help us load heavy stuff later in the week. What a wonderful relief! I owe a whole post to these wonderful people.

Now I'm watching NASCAR and the heat lightning that is dancing across the sky tonight. Eli is asleep under the coffee table (standard storm location) and I'm dreading going to work tomorrow. Still can't give notice, my boss doesn't work on Sundays. Will have to give four days' notice on Monday. Nice, huh?

Enjoy your weekend! (Don't worry, I'll do more packing tomorrow night!)
