Moving
So so so SOOOOO much work to do. Before we can even move in to the new place. Our rent is paid until 5/15 but Lan doesn't think we can be out by then and will have to pay for the rest of the month. It'd be better if we didn't have to but he's right about it being easier to fix the ceiling and paint before our stuff is there. They're upgrading the electrical system today, so hopefully we can get the rest done more quickly than Lan thinks we can. I need to get stuff out of the dressers we're planning on selling, along with just set aside all the things we're going to sell. I have all the books and CDs gone through, and I just need to get pictures of the furniture that's to be sold, but first I need to get the furniture into shape to take pictures of (IE, take the electronics off of it, but then where do I put the stuff on it? and move it so that I can actually get pictures. Lan really really doesn't want to move the piano again, but we have to get it out of here one way or the other and taking the roof off is not an option, so we might as well just take it to Nikki's where she will use it. Or at least her kids will. Then, maybe, when we have room for it, I can get it back? I hope? Because I like to have it, and kids love it.
John is already moved in. At first I was a bit worried about living with an almost-21-year-old, and although I know there will be challenges, I'm no longer worried about it. I think it will be fine, and I don't agree with Lan that we will need our own refrigerator. If he's right we can always get one, but our room is going to be crowded enough, especially considering that I really want to keep my table, it's pretty awesome. But it gets pretty small, and we need somewhere to put the computer considering that we're planning to sell the desk since it matches my dressers. That will be on one end with the microwave and toaster oven on the other. Oy vay! Our room is going to be crowded!
I've been going going going basically since I moved back home, so today I'm taking the day off while Lan gets the electrical done. I can't really be much help with that anyway. I plan on watching some tv and taking a bath, and if I get ambitious I'll put stuff for the moving sale in bins. And maybe laundry.
We've had help from various people. John has actually been pretty good, working with Lan and sometimes me too. Nick came down for a day and was a HUGE help. I think more got done that day than any other. Ruth and Damian help a bunch with moving magazines. And there were LOTS. 4 stacks from the floor too the ceiling plus. Mom came and helped with folding and putting away all the clothes still there from Lan's mom that I had laundered. 8 loads of laundry worth, and she has a high capacity washer and dryer. Plus we found out what we needed for the kitchen. I like our dishes/silverware better than hers, so I think I'm going to box hers up and put it in the attic. I'll have some odds and ends for the sale, but my basic sets I'll keep. Except for the mugs, I don't use those very often. Blah blah blah, who cares. Ah well, this journal is for me, not for any real entertainment value. Unless you're really bored.
It's nice to get time to post here. Really all I've had time for is to access fb on Lan's phone (I'll be getting a new one soon, just after the move. Hey, we have to pay for the data anyways because of his job and our plan, might as well be able to use it.) and doing anything other than "like"ing things is more trouble than it's worth. I don't like not being able to actually type, even though I'm not the fastest it's way faster than the one finger method that's the only thing I've been able to do with a touch screen.
