The Move is Done…

Well, we finished moving finally. The entire process went much quicker that I had thought. Most of everything was moved on Friday and I finished up on Sunday. Mainly organizing and taking stuff down to storage. The apartment looks great! I will get pictures posted soon. Now, we are in the process of getting Ron’s things into the place. He doesn’t really have all that much. He is selling his sofa and TV stand (I think) and his bed is going into storage. He is bringing things over everyday so hopefully this will all be done very soon.

I have been franticly organizing things. I cannot sleep until things are done. I lay awake at night organizing things in my head. Ron sat me down in a futile attempt to calm/slow me down but all I could look at was the kitchen in shambles. I was up until midnight last night finishing the bathroom, closet, and bookcases. The task has been completed. It actually looks like I have lived there a while. It has come to my attention that I have to many clothes. When I had my nice big walk-in closet it certainly did not seem like much. But as I was organizing the new closet I quickly came to realize that I should put some stuff away. I have almost 20 pairs of shoes; each in their own plastic containers that did not fit well in the closet with my clothes. So, I took a bunch of summer clothes and folded them which helped tremendously. So now all the pants are hanging on the bottom level with the shoes stacked neatly. We will have to add another drawer. I fold my t-shirts in a very odd way that saves a ton of space. I have started folding Ron’s t-shirts the same way. Here is the problem-Ron wears a large-XL shirt. When I fold his shirts the same way it is still very big so I folded the shirts in half again and bingo! Plenty of room. But I know there is more to come as he has not moved the majority of his clothes yet.

So far so good and more to come…

Seamless Moving...

Today is Monday and I am just now starting to pack some things up for my move on Friday.  I am only going up two floors in the same building so I am not going to beat myself up packing everything.  All I need is some totes and a few boxes and I will be good to go.  The kitchen will go first.  I will get it in there and all put away then the bathroom will be next.  Then the closet.  Then the big pieces of furniture.  By the time we are finished the new place will look as if I have lived there for a while.  It is what I like to call seamless moving.  I will probably start moving things Thursday evening.  We finished painting and assembling the closet over this past weekend.  Ron had the easy part with rolling the paint on the walls.  I did all the taping and edging.  I am so sore I can hardly move.  The colors are as follows:  the living room is "Oak Cask" or as Bill said-manilla envelope, the kitchen is "Chasing Chocolate," the bathroom is "Subtle Blue," and the bedroom is "Smoky Blue (think slate blue)."  Ugh, the gays and their colors schemes!  Well, it all looks great and I will get some pics posted soon.
