Utterly exhausted. Hope I can sleep. Will shower first, then crawl into bed. Some good friends helped hugely today on the Final Push for the Big Move happening in another few hours! I'm holding off on finishing up the kitchen packing and moving 'til later this weekend. Feeling like I should be more thrilled, but I'm simply exhausted. Must needs some zzzzz's. G'night all.

Whoo-hoo! Finally feeling like this is really gonna happen now that I have a Moving Date on the calendar. It'll be oh-so-nice getting settled in rather than living in Boxville. Sure, it'll take a while, but it'll be far more satisfying getting stuff set up as I want it rather than simply taking it all apart as I'm currently doing.

The electricians finished up part 1 of their work today. All that remains is the big-@ss shifting of the electric panel in another few weeks, when PGE has time for't. Spent chunks of yesterday and today looking at lighting fixtures. OMG - so many choices! Finally settled on a couple I'm pleased with and they're now in place. Yay for functioning (and attractive) back porch and front entryway lights!

Hopefully plumbing estimates will come in next week. Wood floors (front closet, entryway, living & dining rooms) will happen later this month and early in October.

My garden's getting shifted this weekend, thx to Dear Friends from SEA coming down for same, along w/a local DF or two. I'll fly to SoCal for a wedding the following weekend. My 'rents'll then fly to help w/packing the weekend after that. Lots to do, but it's getting done.

So Very Exciting!

The wheels've begun turning. I've made darned good progress of late. This whole Moving thing now seems doable, even though still daunting. Set myself a goal and managed to achieve it yesterday, which felt oh-so-good. I emptied all the shelves in the front hall at Boxville fka the Hive.

Today, [livejournal.com profile] ferociousbcycad came over w/his pickup truck and helped me shift these newly emptied bookshelves (plus some from the guest bedroom) into Hive Magnum's guest bedroom. They'll ultimately land in the Study/Library, but [livejournal.com profile] delerium3's still working on the nasturtium border so they're in limbo for the nonce.

Wowzie. The front hallway here is huge. Now filling it w/boxes, &c.

Exhausted, but quite pleased to have gotten going so well, and to have friends coming down from SEA for a packing party next weekend, plus my 'rents coming up from the Bay Area for another packing party the 3rd weekend of September. Anybody else wanna come over and pack?!

WheeZoomSplat!

Oh, yeah... Frustrating as heck, yet better than getting zippo done. Managing to maintain some usable space and passageways whilst stacking boxes all around the edges. Bookcases will go over to Hive Magnum tomorrow, providing extra room for full boxes. Dear Friends from SEA have oh-so-kindly agreed to come down next weekend for a small Packing Party to shift the garden (containers, raised bed, and hopefully compost bin).

Took a nice break earlier to cruise Lan Su Chinese Gardens w/a couple new-to-me friends. My heart's singing quite nicely these days and I'm finding myself w/a goofy grin on my face lots.

And now: back to it!
