Thursday:

Goals: Pack

Well, as I write this we are already on day 3 of being in the new house so it feels a bit strange talking about packing up the old place. Right now it is an empty stinking shell of its former glory. But on Thursday night, after work, it was a hotbed of activity. I ran by the new place directly after work to move everything out of the way in the garage. Everything was up against the door for our popcorn scraping adventure. With that fixed, I headed back to Glendale to help with the packing. We were getting more and more nervous in anticipation of the move, it seemed like all the packing was going in slow motion. We had made a good sized dent in the kitchen, dining room and living room. But the office, bedroom and garage were a complete disaster.

I got working on the office and finishing the living room, while Rena handled the kitchen. I think we might have taken a load over to the new place at one point, but I can't really tell you at this point. We were both irritable and cranky and ended up snapping at each other quite a bit, which is unusual for us, so we know the stress is getting to us.

Tomorrow: Rena is staying home to prep for the move (buying couch covers, getting boxes etc..) I am taking a half day and will head home to pack after that.

I have some pics of the new place pre-move in. I will post those later, since all of our computers are in pieces and we have no internet access for 2 weeks.
