That was quite a job yesterday. After getting a load of boxes I was able to dig into the meat a bit with moving. I've been doing small things all along, such as vaccuming out drawers of little bits of dust and such that accumulates over the years. This helps me feel clean and ready to move. But I hadn't really dug into the packing boxes until yesterday.
I knew the china hutch was a big job. Top and bottom are completely filled, along with two drawers (that had thankfully been purged a week ago). And over 90 percent of the items are breakable and need to be wrapped. I did the packing method that I found on the internet last time and used foam plates to separate my items as this is much cheaper than bubble wrap or plate packs you buy for moving. Then I wrap the whole thing in bubble wrap. Speaking of bubble wrap, do NOT buy anywhere except a large club store. The difference in price will blow you away! 240 feet will cost you about the same as 25 feet anywhere else. Take my word on this, as I used to use it by the bucket load at work. If you don't have a membership, find someone who does.
I just realized this is my own thoughts, but I write like I am writing to someone, though nobody is reading. Kind of funny, but totally keeps me on track. I think I am having to report in and it totally makes me work a little every day towards my goal. I really hope this works when I try some of my other challenges. I think the next one will be a diet or fitness goal. I have that dr. appt. coming up and I really want to make a weight loss goal. It is only twelve lbs...but still a goal.
Again, I wrote this a couple days ago, and didn't post. What is up with me? So now it is Monday morning, and it is 11 days till closing. OMG...11 days!
