Way too much. I could probably get rid of a lot of it but I'm out of time, so now stuff is being shoved in boxes and will get moved and so be it. I hope I have enough of the smaller boxes for what still needs to be packed, that's why I'm on here instead of packing, I'm afraid I'll run out of space and be stuck. I know, suck it up and just pack them. Get it done.
I got quite a bit done today, but am hoping it was enough and know tomorrow is going to be hectic. I need to get some stuff packed up to take over to the new place, and then finish the packing. I was hoping it would just be toys but at this rate it's going to be more. At least the upstairs is done. I think I have a few things to put in boxes, like alarm clocks and night lights, but that will have to wait for the last day and all get piled in one big box. I am pretty impressed that I've done this much already, I know another week would have been better but I don't want to expose us to any more illness in this house than I have to. Sadly it means the patio stuff is probably not going to be able to go... but I am still hopeful that the movers will have an idea of how to get the stuff out of there. I can say goodbye to the sandbox, get him a new one, and even the bbq, though I'll be sad about the propane tank on there. But the patio furniture and his patio toys, those need to go! I'd like to get the hose reel too.
The animals know something is up. Even Snickers is acting a little oddly. None of them have ever gone through a move before, so the boxes and things are new. Well my ex moved out at one point so perhaps there was that but he didn't really have any boxes or anything.
I am excited though, and cannot wait to get to the new place, and settled and the furniture there and just LIVE there. I know there will be an adjustment, especially when it comes to unpacking. But I think it will be less stressful than packing has been. I really hope I don't forget anything important, but I suspect we'll be back a few times to take garbage out and just make sure we have everything.
I hope that Jackson doesn't worry too much about this move. He has been a little confused but is enjoying being at the new house, and I think he will like it even more when we live there full time. I know he has been unsure of what is going on, he has said this house will miss us and be sad. He has been concerned that we will leave the pets behind, and his toys. But I think he is starting to understand now. Hopefully once we get settled the bed time parade will diminish. Lately at bed time he runs through a procrastination list, needs a drink, to pee, a snack, his pillow is too hot, he needs a hug, it's too dark, there are monsters... and repeat. Once we are settled it will be a lot easier to deal with, right now he does this while I'm trying to pack, and so I can't make much noise because it distracts him even more.
He's asleep now though, so I'm off to pack some more. It really sucks that moving requires packing and then unpacking... there should be a transporter to just zap everything over to the new location :-)
