A *lot* has been done.
God bless Angela, who comes with her 9 mth old baby to help me.
God bless my masseuse who is also helping me.
And God bless my cleaning lady who is putting in 4 hrs of extra work each day to help me.
There are 24 cartons filled with books. More books still have to be packed.
80% of the kids' clothes are packed. The rest they need at hand.
Photos have been packed. You know, the kind that hang on walls. And all the rest too.
Today we tackled the store - close to 40 kilos of clutter - old books, papers, newspapers etc was discarded. All the old toys that the kids no longer play with have been distributed.Some 400 books were donated to the neighbourhood lending library.
Tomorrow, we do the Kitchen. And the thought makes me want to whine. Really. But we shall prevail.
I ache all over. The fever remains high but given the amount of work I have, that is not a surprise.
A bit of good news. Due to some emergency or the other, the people I am renting the place from went out of town today and will be back only on Wednesday. So I can't move on Wednesday. Which pushes the moving date to the 12h or the 15th [will let you know when I do....because it so impacts all of you ;)]
So the plan has now changed to finishing the packing by the time I get the possession of the house [Thursday the 5th]. And then start moving in stuff and unpacking it to fill the time until the official move happens.
Hmm, suddenly ran out of steam...
