Cleaning Up

The war zone chaotic apartment got cleaned up last night. Now it's less of a war zone chaotic apartment and more of a demilitarized zone humble, yet sparse place to live for the next week.

I feel a lot better. There was too much crap strewn everywhere. I couldn't handle it. We're at a point now where the movers could come and, minus one box of kitchen stuff, load up and go. Really. I think we're finally there.

I'm typically a pretty optimistic person. When we began the packing process I told Mamma that we really didn't have that much stuff to pack b/c that's just how I view things. I always see big projects as really not that big of a deal.

Well, in one sense I was right. Compared to most folks, we really didn't have that much stuff to pack. However, that doesn't mean that there wasn't a lot to do. Mamma worked hard over the span of a month or so to get it all done. I would step in on the weekends and evenings to help, but she did the vast majority of it.

Mamma is going to paint a few rooms in the house while she's home this week. I talked to her last night and she's "on the ball" on this one. This was her first time to see the house since we saw it the first time and she said that she still really likes it and feels comfortable there. That's a good thing!!!

The yard evidently needs some work and there is a fire ant mound in the back yard. WATCH OUT BAILEY!!!! We'll get those things taken care of post haste.

Adios,

Pappa
