  • Still Packing

    I have three days left to pack.  I say three, since I have half of moving day to still get things in boxes, or throw things out.  I'm being more liberal about what I'm throwing out now.  Lots of crap is going into the waste basket, which I'm actually thrilled about.  Means less stuff to have to transport, since I have lots of boxes piled up.  Currently, the living room looks like a Costco warehouse.

    My big accomplishment is that I actually finished packing up my room.  Hooray.  Downside is that I still have to pack up my office (and kitchen, but that one's easy).  I think my lack of motivation for the office is that I have yet to ship away those damn office machines (my fault, I know) and I have eight boxes to take to the shredder about 25 miles away (Wednesday project).  Plus, I have the bizillion CDs that I have no use for, except the slight hope that my friends and family will wisk them away forever.

    For today, I'm done cleaning, since I spent about seven hours boxing stuff and trying to get everything in order.  Lots to think about still, but hopefully I'll be able to sleep in past five o'clock.

  • Packing

    With the move-in date on my condo slowly creeping up (in a week!), I'm slowly cleaning.  Throwing crap out, putting things into boxes, etc.  It's amazing how much stuff one can keep in seven years, especially when you're a pack rat.  Some stuff is easy (why did I keep this magazine all these years) to not easy (how many DVDs have I bought!?!).

    I'm not sure who's making better progress with the cleaning; me or my boyfriend.  We decided not to see each other this week since we'll have enough of that starting next week.

    Right now, my mind is full of a million things, like finding out when I can get the keys, so I can get the electric and phone company to get everything ready.  Also, I have to ship some stuff via UPS to my company and meet with the Title Company agent to sign the papers and give a check (good-bye money!).

    Not an immediate concern, but I need to find a way to unload about 500 blank CDs (plus jewel cases!) onto friends, relatives, etc.

    Here's to hoping that everything fits in the new place...

  • Things To Keep Me Preoccupied

    I'm freaking out a little bit.  My loan papers that I was supposed to receive in the mail never showed up (lost!) last week, and then the second set of loan papers I was supposed to receive today the Wamu office messed up on and I'm not supposed to receive until tomorrow (and to the wrong address).  My loan guy was supposed to call me and hand me papers tonight, but he's AWOL.  I feel like leaving him a nasty message, but that's probably not a smart thing to do.  I have less than thirty days to close the loan, so paranoia is setting in slowly.

    To keep me from going completely crazy, last night I watched The Departed, since it won an Oscar and it was based on the Hong Kong movie "Infernal Affairs," which I thought was really great when I saw it a few years ago.  Unfortunately, I was so disappointed in the remake.  It was long, and a cheap imitation, so Americanized.  Hmm... I didn't feel this way about The Grudge or The Ring (OK, maybe The Ring since it didn't work as well with the setting in America).

    Some rants I have are that every other word in the script is a swear word, was the sex scene really necessary, Bad-Police-Mole-Guy (Matt Damon's character) was an ass all throughout the movie (no sympathy towards him whatsoever), and I didn't like the twist at the end.  So, I thought maybe I was crazy and maybe everything I liked about Infernal Affairs was blown out of proportion, so I watched it again this evening, and I realy do like that movie a lot.

    Hmm... I should eat something soon or drink something to calm my nerves.  Ha ha.

  • Condo?

    After a few stressful days of counteroffers and paper signing, my offer for the condo was finally accepted today.  Hooray!!!

    Oh wait...  I need to pay for the thing now.  Damn.

    Along with that, I have 17 days to do home inspections, etc., 10 days to do an initial walkthrough and point out what's wrong with the unit (already have a small list), and I still need to finalize my loan.   Also, I have a stack of legal paperwork to read through.  I thought it was going to unbearably painful to read through, but actually, the majority wasn't so bad.

    I still need to make some copies of the documents for my personal records, and I need to check about my home office situation and if there will be a problem under the CC&R.  I think it will be OK, but I want to double check...  Hmm...

    Lots to do, and I still have to throw tons of sh*t away, pack up some of the office machines and send them back to the main company, and of course pack my personal stuff, and clean up everything.  Sigh...  I should go to the Japanese dollar store this weekend and buy some cleaning supplies.

    On a side note, I've been having really bad stomach pains today.  Maybe from this stress??  Hmm...
