I declare today over.
Today feels like it lasted seventeen years. I dropped Peggy off for training with her hunting trainer in the morning, and then spent what felt like the whole day chasing my tail on one thing or another. By the time I picked her up my brain was metaphorically dribbling from my ears.
I have engaged the services of the lovely professional organizers one last time for next Friday, and in anticipation I have ordered a sturdy shelving unit and some clear storage bins for when we de-clutter the garage and hopefully get it all tidy and organized for when KK moves in. I have set aside the entire day for this, although I assume the lovely ladies will only be here for 4 to 6 hours, and the rest of the time I will devote to putting things outside for people from my local "buy nothing" group to pick up. Next Tuesday is garbage and plastic/glass recycling, which is not great in terms of timing, but I'll make it work. I would have preferred the reverse (paper recycling next Tuesday and garbage, etc. right after the big garage clearout), because I am quite sure there will be a lot to throw out/recycle in the end.
We have two full weekends left before KK moves, so I have blocked off all four of those days to go help her pack up. She's bought moving boxes and is in her words "beginning to freak out," so it's probably much needed. I think I will aim to put in "full days," which means going fairly early in the morning and not stopping until the evening except for lunch and water breaks. If we work steadily through both weekends I think we can get a very large chunk of it done, as long as she helps with the packing.
All in all, things are almost ready on my end, garage notwithstanding. I want to give the basement a good scrubbing, but that should take about half a day in my estimation. Mind you, I have been wildly wrong in the past about how long things take, so maybe it will take longer. If I remember I will report back here about how long it took.
On that note, I am going to bed. The rest of the week is looking rather ridiculously busy. *sigh*
