I'm getting closer and closer to the end date for moving, whether I'm ready or not. Preferably, I'll be ready. The living room and bedroom are 95% packed. The linen closet is 90% packed. I haven't even started on the kitchen, so that will be tonight's task. I have to grab a few more boxes and buy a newspaper or three so I can wrap up all my dishes. Tomorrow will be a cleaning day, both at work and at home. I'd really like to get a decent amount of the cleaning done beforehand, so I don't have a ton to do next week.

I still also need to go to Lowe's to buy new blinds for the living room, since Zoe the Destroyer broke all the slats off in one corner so she could jump up into the window unimpeded.

eve11 and I made it to the gym again this morning. Yay us! Today I managed two straight miles, by dint of going much slower than I did on Tuesday. It's a little bit pathetic, but I'll get back to where I want to be.

Not pathetic because you are doing it and you will improve.
Congrats on all the packing. Are you actually doing the deed this weekend--the move, I mean?

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Yeah. LP's stuff is arriving by truck tomorrow, so she'll get all her stuff moved in tomorrow. And then I'm renting a truck on Saturday to get all of my stuff moved in. That is so soon! I'm not sure I'm ready emotionally, even if I'll be ready physically.

Good luck with all the packing, cleaning and lugging boxes, etc. Buying new blinds/curtains for this house is one of my tasks, too. Fortunately, as the owner I can decide not to buy anymore venetian blinds, because in my experience, venetian blinds and cats just don't mix.

Are you planning to have the whole move finished tomorrow, or has M given you a bit of flexibility in how soon you have to have everything moved?

Congrats on your second gym day in a week! I managed to get to the gym for the first time in almost two weeks, but put in a relatively weak effort - just a bit more than 2 elliptical machine miles. I was too tired to go all out and when I am not going all out, the elliptical is just too boring! Any way, I tell myself that a lot of the work I have been doing in the past two weeks has been very physically demanding, especially the landscaping parts of it, so artificial exercise may not be as important.

We'll be doing all the moving on Saturday, it seems. LP was hopeful that her truck of stuff would get here tomorrow and we'd do my stuff Saturday, but the moving company let her know today that they'll be here between 8 and 10am on Sat. Of course, we have to get out to the place to pick up my truck at 10, which makes things more complicated. We've worked out a sufficiently complicated plan to get around that, however.

Good luck with it all! I hope you both have the energy to enjoy refreshing alcoholic beverages of your favorite kind when the day and the move is finally done! I'll be thinking of you and sending as much energy as I can spare your way!

If you didn't pack your towels yet, a great tip that a friend gave me years ago is to use 'em to pack your dishes, that way the dishes are still clean when you unpack!

Good luck getting it all done in time!
