packing up
Jun. 4th, 2017 01:13 pmYesterday, friends from around Ohio came down to pack us up. After 7 hours of packing, lunch, packing, resting, and packing again, we are all packed except for the those things we need to use for the next three weeks. I will still have some packing to do right before the movers come, but it will be minor.
My friends agreed I had done an excellent job of giving away belongings. There was much less to pack than was expected. I probably still have 'way too many books and kitchen utensils. As I unpack, or as I find I have no room, more GoodWill donations will accumulate, I'm sure.
Being packed feels good. I know that sounds odd. But having everything in boxes feels like progress.
Edited to add: I found some unlabeled boxes, and some boxes labeled only on the top. Unpacking will be an adventure!
