Monday 11.09.09 – Tuesday 11.10.09

It’s amazing what you find when you start digging through a 1700 square foot house. Kim and I did a miraculous job of speed packing in less than 15 hours. The movers are coming tomorrow to take the furniture and all of the stuff that I was able to get in boxes to the new loft to make sure it all fits. If it doesn’t fit then said movers will be bringing the shit back to my house for the yard sale this weekend. Oh well, that’s why I am paying them! Kim was probably the worst person for the job of helping me because she spent half the time trying to talk me into keeping crap that I do not need. I do not need 23 stuffed monkeys. The best thing she talked me into keeping was the ping-pong table. Yes, the new place is large enough to house a ping-pong table in the middle of it. It might get on my nerves after a month or two… but it sure will make for a fun housewarming.

I ended up finding 17 half empty packs of gum, more than 10 ping-pong balls, roller skates (in my size!), 8 bathing suits, Shrinky Dinks, Sea Monkeys, 6 decks of cards, a bag of pills which went in the trash, a tattered Magnum PI beach towel, gay porn and about $32.50 in loose change.

Tomorrow will be an interesting exercise for me… movers will be at my house without me there supervising them. A very difficult day for a control freak. Kim is my life saver during this move… I would not be able to pull this off without her. MUAH!

Totally unrelated… a very cute raccoon just came up to my doorstep and peered in. It reminds me of my Dad many years ago feeding fresh warm brownies to a family of raccoons until my stepmonster caught him and made him stop.
