Packing Progress

Well, I've been slacking in my posts, I know. Been a busy few days! I really haven't been "home" since Thursday. Friday I picked up a rental car at 8am. Decided to pay $100 for the convenience of having a car all weekend. Just too much stuff in my house that I needed to take to recycling/thrift stores and it was just easiest to rent a car.

So, Friday was my last day at work. A very weird day. University Advancement is being moved out to Innovation Place, so Friday was also the last day in Kirk Hall! So, I spent the day packing/finishing up work. But our computers got unplugged/packed up at 2pm, so by then I had no work to do! So, we went to the campus bar and drank until 6pm. Three hours of that was my "goodbye party." It was really nice - I was surprised by some of the people who came, but others I knew would come. Definitely going to miss some people there! So, after that, me and my callers headed to Folkfest! That's a post all to itself. Suffice it to say, we had a good time. And managed not to get arrested for any of the laws we broke.

Saturday I went back to Folkfest to check out some pavilions I missed. Danielle came with me. We then headed to Sandy's farm (my ex-boss) to visit her and her donkey! We went on a scenic tour down the wrong highway, but eventually got there!

So! Today is the first day I've been home. I spent most of the day packing/cleaning/making multiple trips to drop off stuff. I now have a bedroom AND living room floor, which is super cool. Tomorrow I will be attacking the kitchen.

Anyway, here are some packing pictures to hold you over until I get in the mindset to write a proper blog post!

So, last weekend I decided to dump everything from my closet, dresser, everywhere, into the middle of my bedroom floor. That created a bit of a mess...


A mess that spilled onto my bed as well...


But! I managed to get a small amount of organization going on in the corner of my bedroom!


And by the end of the day, I had definitely made some progress. More boxes packed!


The bed got a bit more clean, but I had to dump everything from it onto my floor before I could go to bed. So, I did that, then ended up crashing on the couch anyway! Bah!


This weekend I really started purging and packing. Everything came off the floor, off the edges of the walls, out of my shelves/drawers and got put into a box or taken to the recycle/thrift store. I definitely made some progress.


For those who know how many books I have...this is all I have left that isn't packed. Talk about progress!!!


More packed stuff and YES! That IS carpet! You can see it!

So, all in all, a very productive day. But my couch is a TINY bit messy...
