I've been a bad boy

It's been a long time between posts. I've been overwhelmed by the amount of work to do around here lately, and it doesn't look to let up soon. This weekend, Jeff is coming out from the city, bless his heart, to help us move more crap from the old house and throw stuff away as well. He is such a big help. It's always nice to have an objective third party who can say, "this is crap. You aren't going to use it, are you?" because then it can be thrown away. The only problem is that we have so MUCH stuff to throw away that we really need to rent a dumpster, because a lot of it is big: old computer monitors, desks, a 1960s TV cabinet (with no TV in it)...all sorts of stuff.

Even though we are in the new house, we're hardly finished with the old one. There is still plenty of furniture to move and plenty of junk to box up. It worries me. We have far more living space in the new house than the old, but the old house had twice the storage space of the new house. And Jess and I are packrats, so storage is important. But we're going to have to make it quick: the couple that is buying the old house is in a hurry to close.

I just can't wait for the weekend!
