I am now completely out of my parent's house!
I just finished packing up everything in my room, vaccuming, wiping down the walls, and hauling my old bed and mattress to the attic, where they will be stored unil I move to Ellensburg.
I don't mind at all being totally gone from there, less worry that my mom will try to hold my stuff hostage, but it is a weird feeling to haul half of your life out of your room and realize that you don't care if it goes in the dumpster. I must have tossed more than 70% of my stuff.
My mom's happier than I expected about the whole thing, especially becuse she realized that an empty room meant that she could exile my father's computer equipment to my old room and have her living room back. Audrey has already moved into Adrienne's old room, so my mom can clear her art studio and get Audrey's drum set off of her mat cutter. Maybe she'll start drawing again.
Evan was a bit of a brat this weekend, though.
