Goals for the week.
- - Finish up my last two classes at American Power Yoga (I think this was a Living Social deal, but I can’t remember). Start 30 days of unlimited yoga at Uptown Yoga, thanks to Groupon.
- - Work on a couple more paintings, including one for my friend Jess.
- - Clean off my patio so I can get it ready for spring. Yay for plants and flowers!
- - Drop off suits at the dry cleaners.
- - Pack for Las Vegas…one Thursday/Friday, since I leave on Saturday at the butt crack of dawn.
- - More job searching. Apply for more jobs. Network, network, network.
Packing.
For Austin this weekend. For San Fran next week. For Napa next weekend.
My suitcases (one small one for this weekend and one large one for next week/weekend) are going to be a whole mess of clothes for every possible weather scenario.
My day - S.P.L.
S - Shopping
P - Packing
L - Laundry
I need a few new things - shoes, maybe a couple shirts, a new iPod, makeup and this new bag I have been eyeing.
I am off to Las Vegas (again) for work and a couple of days of pleasure, so I have to drag out the big suitcase and start packing.
And last, laundry. At least two loads.
Countdown.
Right now, I have eight days left in my apartment. I am traveling this Thursday - next Monday and possibly next Thursday and Friday. I can’t wait to get out of here. Three years in the same apartment…it was a good run, but it is time to move on.
I feel like I am breaking up with my apartment.
I have been attempting to eat the contents of my freezer and pantry, which isn’t the healthiest food in the world. Lunch this week will consist of Lean Cuisine’s, dinners will be veggie burgers, crab cakes, fries, one lonely pork chop, some Uncle Ben’s teriyaki rice and an assortment of frozen veggies. I have a few boxes of opened cereal, pancake mix, an assortment of granola bars, english muffins and egg beaters.
I spent most of the weekend packing. My dad came down on Sunday and helped take apart my busted computer (Literally. He took out the hard drive and then took the computer with him to recycle.) and helped me spackle the holes in the walls, fix the washer, move the refrigerator (to clean underneath and behind it) and move stuff from my outside storage closet inside to the pile of boxes that continues to grow.
I have a laundry list of people to follow up with tomorrow - listing agent, mortgage broker, title company, insurance company and financial planner.
I still have to pack up part of the kitchen, the bathroom (linens and towels, mostly), dresser and closet. I am not looking forward to the closet, but it has to be done.
There’s a lot to do in the next week and half or so, but I am so ready for it.
The packing has begun.
I started packing up my apartment today. I have 45 days until I move, but after looking at a calendar, I have a lot of travel coming up. NYC, Atlanta, Korea and San Francisco. And I will be away for three weekends over the next 45 days. So I am not crazy, I am planning ahead.
I packed up five boxes today, mostly stuff from my pantry/storage closet, my hutch, which holds serving platters, wine glasses and random holiday-themed things, and the built-in book case in my apartment.
It’s amazing how much stuff I have that I never use, like margarita glasses. When I move into my condo, I am definitely going to have a fiesta and use my margarita glasses.
Five down and lots more to go. I am going to need more newspaper and more boxes!
