Going Home

Yesterday was busy yet productive. After work I managed to pack and stow three more boxes. While the progress is slower than I would like, the impact is starting to be felt. My house looks so much bigger with all of our items packed away. I've come to the conclusion that we either need more space or fewer things.

Packing (and real life) will take a backseat this weekend. Robby and Scott are heading down to Richmond to work at the Nightmare Richmond ComicCon-type event. The pair are excited for their three-day marathon selling adventure. Rob missed going to the last 'con' event because it was held during his first week at college. Thankfully this horror themed event corresponds with his autumn break, allowing him to attend.

While they are busy in Richmond, I'm taking Timmy to visit my Mom. It has been too long since I have been able to visit her and I'm looking forward to the escape. I have lots of plans for mini-adventures over the weekend, but I'm also looking forward to some down time. I could use a really good night sleep, and for some reason, I always seem to find it when visiting my Mom.

Sore

 I wish I could write a blog highlighting my productivity over the past 24 hours.  Unfortunately, yesterday my body was sore and my mind was busy with work. The moving boxes stayed unfolded and unpacked, waiting for another day. Hopefully I'll be able to resume today and keep the momentum going. I really want to get out of this house!

Although we didn't get anything else packed, I did manage to take the trash to the dump. Clearing 7 contractor sized garbage bags out of my living room feels amazing. Between the clutter being purged and my possessions being boxed, I am learning to embrace the minimalist lifestyle. 

Wish me luck packing!

Busy

 I am waking up extraordinarily sore. Every single muscle is yelling at me, chastising my efforts over the past two days. While my body is angry, I'm delighted with the results. While everybody else was watching TV and/or playing computer games, I managed to pack my entire dining and living rooms. 12 boxes are carefully stowed Tetris style against a wall and 7 contractor garbage bags are awaiting delivery to the dump. I feel like I made a lot of progress towards our move.

I wonder how much would be done if I weren't working alone? Sigh. I digress...

After packing through the morning and early afternoon I was ready for a break. Robby has midterms this week and was eager to return to the dorm a little earlier than normal. This will be a shortened week for him because his fall break starts on Thursday, just in time for him and his dad to work at the ComicCon event in Richmond. 

We are definitely in the busy season!
