Packing

Posted at 5:54 pm MST to Miscellaneous

Too much packing. Not enough sleep.

I have found a place to donate excess canned goods, which will save some space in the truck. Also mailed out the spare key to the guy who needs to come take away the furniture, and put in change of address notices.

I'm actually making reasonable progress. All the books and most of the DVDs and CDs are packed, and the knick-knacks, and all the clothes not needed for this week or for the travel days.

If you need to pack lots of clothing and linens, Pack-Mate vacuum storage bags are wonderful. I've had consistently bad luck with the ones where you use a vacuum cleaner to suck out the air. But the actual Pack-Mate brand, which I get at either Sharper Image or Brookstone, works very well.

But the kitchen is in the stage of taking everything out of the cupboards so I can see what I need to play 3-D jigsaws with. Have I mentioned I really and truly hate kitchens that lack counter space?

And there are people in my head that want their stories written.
