Too much stuff

[superbadgirl]

I've already disposed of and/or donated a TON of stuff...and yet my apartment is still overflowing. I'm at that stage in packing where I've gone from "Oh, I don't have many boxes" to "Holy shit, how did I get so much stuff?"

The purge continues. I can't wait until it's all over and I'm settled in.

There was no hot water this morning. It's been a problem for several months now, and I won't miss it.

ETA: I worked my butt off from 10 AM to 5:30 PM with sporadic short breaks. I'm done for the day. I think if I can keep a 2 box per night thing going, I might have rest time by the end of the week. I might even be able to squeeze in most of the cleaning before I actually move my stuff, leaving only touch ups and vacuuming to go. Whee.

I suppose I'd better check with my new landlords and see if it's okay for me to move in a week early - will pay, of course.

Also, I had to get a few items at the store - milk, veggies and fruits...and I resisted both ice cream and Oreos' new snack cakes, which were both like Siren calls to me. I hate this dieting thing. Today was the perfect "You did all this work, you deserve something good" day.

Hope it goes well! I'm heading back to my apartment for an hour or so just ot arrange things, and also to grab things I didn't bring on Friday -- like my computer and my yoga clothes :) Oh, a jacket and an umbrella... I think?

It's raining buckets here today - I took the Bullet out for a bath. Actually, I was looking for a clothing donation box, but I couldn't find it. The two jam-packed suitcases full of still good and wearable clothing items and shoes will, I think, end up in storage (aka the attic of the mansion, shhh) until I can figure out what to do with it. Maybe call someone to pick it up from there.

yes, I understand the too much stuff.

You're packing, does this mean you actually did get the apartment?? I thought last I read you thought you did but weren't sure.

Yep, miracle of miracles, I did. I was quite surprised and am still in a state of panic, because I've got SO much to do it's crazy.

A new problem: How do you pack junk you want to keep but it's just random stuff like gargoyles and candle holders and misc. odds and ends? Me? I just dump in a box and hope for the best. Heh.

When is the big move? Did you decide to hire movers?

This weekend, hopefully. I haven't cleared it with the landlords yet, but in any case MOST of my stuff will be going over on Sunday. If I have to, I'll keep a week's worth of clothes, my TV and an air mattress back and camp out in my empty apartment. ;)

No, I, uh, conned someone into moving my stuff for me.

Now if I could just get someone to put air in my tires...
