The heat is on

(Okay, really? Who just finished that line with, ‘it’s on the street’? You get coolness points.)

Now that we know you’re cool, let me bore you.

I now have two and a half days to pack and clean my apartment before the movers arrive.

I was counting on having all of JDawg’s visit to work on it today, but unfortunately, he needed to go to the doctor and I volunteered to go with them, knowing Isobel would be a handful for him alone. He hurt his knee somehow and it’s been getting worse each day, so today he finally decided he had to get it checked – during visit time.

Sigh.

I still ended up having about three hours, so I got almost all of my kitchen packed. Still left is food and Isobel’s dishes and the bare minimum that I’ll need for the next two days. Which includes a coffee mug and my shot glass.

Then I was all in a tizzy. Cuz me and starting and stopping just don’t mix. So Isobel had some quiet time with Toopie and I got some more stuff accomplished. After which I chucked her in the bathtub with some toys and bubbles – while I washed the walls in the bathroom. She’s self cleaning, you see. Walls are not.

I haven’t finished painting her nightstands yet. It’s a bit of a job to do when you can only tackle it in the evenings – and evenings are generally for Plurking. Truly, only one coat, on one of the two, is done. But I don’t expect to have everything accomplished upon move-in, anyways. It’ll be a long, piecemeal road.

So, onto more work. Tonight, I’ll get at least a load of laundry (of the two that remain) done, the bathroom finished and start on finishing the kitchen cleaning.

In the morning, what’s my first goal after making a cup of coffee and having half a smoke? Getting a babysitter for this week’s mornings, so I can just plow through.

    Good luck with all the packing. I seriously think that is worst part of moving. Hoping it all goes smoothly. Wish I were closer to help!

    This is "light stuff" compared to what you have already accomplished!!!
  • I have a feeling that song is going to be going through my head half the night now!!! :)

    You sound VERY busy. How did you go with the t-shirt? The last thing I want to do is "nag" when you're so busy so I apologise. I just need it to keep moving in reasonably quick succession so wanted to check in with you where you're up to with it.

  • Maggie: It's the unpacking in a six hour period that I love the most. I can unpack like NOBODY'S business!
  • Natalie: Our new place is THE definition of small. Smaller than most studios, yet still has a bedroom. We're going to rock it. Rock yours with us!
  • Latte Mommy: I think I've conceded myself to hiring a maid.
  • FaLiLV: I loved the idea, too, until she started having a splashing contest with herself. And then drinking the water. Which meant inhaling it. Which meant I was paranoid about that creepy drowning in her sleep syndrome...

  • Wow, first, I really like the new layout. Very cool!

    The kitchen is often the absolute worst, so if you have that mostly packed, you are mostly ahead of the game. Moving is my least favorite thing, but getting all set up and settled into a new place is always kind of fun. Hang in there. It will all happen, even with a Plurk break or three.

  • Ooooh, I LOVE your new layout. SO. FREAKING. COOL.

    Good luck with the moving. I hate moving because I do it so much. I'm considering staying in our tiny one bedroom for another year because I can't stand the thought of picking up and moving during this year's holiday season.
