Trying to Keep My Head Above Water...

Ahhh!!!

We're getting down to the wire! 2½ weeks left before I fly out. Things have been crazy at work and I've done almost 20 hours of overtime this last week. That leaves a whole lot of time for... NOTHING.
Cue me freaking out...

A friend came over tonight to kick my arse into gear so that I could finally get a bit more done since the movers can't give me a quote or - of course - take my stuff until it's all packed. I'm almost there. I'd say if I do a bit more in the next two or so days I'll be ready... It's a lot of work... And it's a lot of work I'm not so thrilled to be doing myself. It's mostly because I severely lack the motivation to do it. There's so many other things I'd rather be doing like sleeping. I've also given up any hope (or illusion!) I had of having a garage sale which was evident by me letting my friend take home 3 rubbermaind bins (PLUS) of stuff home for free lol...

We had a crazy heat wave two weeks ago and now we're back to it being cold, rainy and miserable... There were even murmurings of the "S" word... That's right... Snow... I was kind of hoping to miss all of that lol. I'm actually kind of hoping that if I sleep late enough into the day I'll miss it haha
It's actually getting dark at night now which sucks. It makes me pretty sad to know that summer is definitely over (I know I'm moving but man, I love the summers up here).

So yeah... I plan to take a picture of the apartment when everything is all packed I just need to get it all packed...

I really wish I had a more exciting update!

See how fast time flies? Just think though, it will all be worth it - in no time flat you will be with Glen. It'll all be worth it in the end :)

Take Care and keep in touch!

I would love to have a bit of snow down here - just one day to cool things off! Good luck! How much stuff can you take with you to Australia?

Moving sucks, it's very draining and brings out the procrastinator in pretty much everyone. If you're still trying to get rid of things, try the free section of craigslist... heck, try the classifieds section too. When I had to move (and waited entirely too long to get rid of things) I posted pretty much everything on craigslist and got rid of 90% of everything in that last week.

Good luck!

Thanks Teri!

Jo - I don't know if there's a specific limit.. I'm pretty sure I'm under it. I got the quote from the movers today though and it's more than we were hoping :( but still really reasonable considering how far things are going.

Rebel - We have a "Next to New" shop here and I think all of the extra stuff is going there... The only major thing I need a buyer for is my computer..
