shannon_aSo August was the last month of summer, the middle of the year when I hoped to get a lot of prep done for our move.
And we mostly just survived it.
Certainly, getting the house painted was a huge task, because we had to deal with painters for three weeks straight, and we had to keep ourselves sane while doing so, but I would have liked to do something a little more proactive ... Ah well, it's done. Though we're still waiting on some repair work on a single window that didn't get done, and then some interior work.
There was of course also box packing. We're now up to 110 boxes, and I've boxed my entire (surviving) roleplaying collection (oh, except the Dragon magazines that I want to save) and started in on the board games. I've also culled each deeply, but I haven't gotten rid of my culled copies of either yet (because getting rid of the RPGs is tricky, and I need to make sure I've finished my board game cull and I need to offer some co-ops and social-focused board games to Chris and/or the Thursday night crowd).
In the process, we also cleared another five shelves. Two shelves of RPGs, two shelves of board games, and one shelf of collage material in Kimberly's office.
I knew that I'd lose move-prep time to the trip to Prague. Duh, I was out of town for nine days. But I'm trying to hit the ground running again as quickly as possible. Well, I didn't do any work for 48 hours after returning, but I'm back to boxing up board games tonight.
And I've got a slew of small things on my list for this month.
Social stuff:
1. Get back in touch with our realtor
2. Talk with stagers
3. Talk with moving company
Get-rid-of stuff:
4. Get rid of RPGs
5. Get rid of board games
6. Get rid of bookshelves
Yup, we've just got 3.5 months left.
