Jul. 1st, 2007 04:18 pmSo I'm taking all the boxes of dishes/kitchen stuff out of the garage, and hosing them off and shaking them out and figuring out what I'm keeping and what I'm not--they were the only boxes that Katrina and I didn't sort through, because they were the last ones and most are wrapped in newspaper. Which was chewed through and then everything was filled with mouse droppings and what appear to be eggs or maggots of some kind.
Ewww!
So I'm literally hosing them off in the driveway, letting them dry in the sun (also a natural bleach, hey) and repacking them. Except for the items I don't want to keep...members of this house can take what they want, the rest is going to Goodwill. I'm finding stuff I didn't remember I had, like a wooden spice rack filled with little empty glass jars. I'm not keeping that, because I don't mind keeping my spices in properly labeled plastic ziplock-style bags from People's. Makes it easy to remember to get more--just put the empty bag in my shopping bag.
Most of my boxes are in the back of the garage and/or mixed in with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jenhowell's. I'm going to see if she's willing to help me reverse that. I don't think I want to spend Wednesday saying "Yeah, that one. Not that one. Yes that one. Leave that one there. Let me open that 'cause I don't even know what it is..."
At least I'm getting it done. Tomorrow after work I'll probably start packing up my current room and putting boxes in the open part of the upstairs, since it's all stuff I've used/acquired recently, that stuff definitely has to go into my room. I think I'll spend early Wednesday morning packing up my bathroom and kitchen and taking apart my bed...
I'm thinking of trying to get Tuesday off. Because otherwise there's no way I'm going to be done in time.
A lot of stuff is going to end up in the downstairs basement. But dammit, I want to actually unpack all the way for once in my life. If stuff's being stored, it should be for a good reason. I don't need all my old yearbooks and journals on my bookshelf, for instance, but I still want to keep them. That kind of thing. But most books? If I don't want them upstairs with me, they should go away.
Damn. I forgot how much I preferred the XR version of Adderall. I am getting shit done.
Ewww!
