In Which we Spend FEBRUARY Preparing to Move
After a great start in January, we weren't able to put as much effort into getting ready to move in February, in part because both Kimberly and I got sick, and in part because I went to Spain at the end of the month.
Our big plan for the month was to get all of our filing in order.
We were also continuing with our big stuff from January: we had our gardener out a few times and he's totally cleaned our front and side yards, put down plastic to mostly keep the weeds out, and planted us some new plants in the front, after consultation with his wife for what would work well. It looks good, and will hopefully look better in a year. We've had less luck with our handyman, who's been a flake. I queried for our quote early in the month, but as we got closer to my Spain trip, I decided it was going to wait until afterward. (Meanwhile, Kimberly got one of the things from our handyman list done! She ordered some handles for our pantry and installed them!)
And we continued to get some stuff out of the house, but not a lot. Kimberly got rid of a breadmaker that I don't even remember us buying. The recycler brought us brownies. I passed some books and cards on to a good home. I think I dropped off a few things at Goodwill early in the month, including some shirts that I decided I wasn't wearing any more. There were probably other small things.
I think our big thing in March is going to be finishing up the stuff we started in January and February, which means getting a handyman who's actually starting work and finishing all of our personal filing. And it'd be good to get more stuff out of the house.
Our big plan for the month was to get all of our filing in order.
- I got my file cabinet in order, getting rid of all unnecessary paperwork, but then I discovered a bonus drawer of filing, with a few things of note in it, but most of which just needed to be separated into recycling vs shredding. I did part of it, and was going to finish it the weekend before I left for Spain, but then I spent that weekend recuperating on the couch.
- Kimberly and I didn't get to her filing, which also includes most of our household filing.
- I didn't get to the Skotos filing, but there I just shrugged my shoulders, since it's something I need to do during work time, as work time allows. I just need to not save it to the last moment.
