The Eve of Moving Day

Although I have until the 30th to move out, I rented a Uhaul for tomorrow (Sunday) to move all the large pieces of furniture.  These next weeks will be pretty busy for my boyfriend and I, and luckily we have tomorrow free ALL DAY LONG!  
We are moving the bed, one large couch and two oversized sofa chairs, two shelves (pictured below), a dresser and an armoire.  Oh!  And a coffee table and high top kitchen table with four chairs.... phew, I'm tired already.  My mind is bigger than my muscles.  We are moving everything solo, although if there are some young men hanging around the apartment complex I may solicit their help.  I think a keg of beer will suffice.


Anyway, back to packing. :)

Empty shelves, well almost empty...

Round two!
(I plan to unpack these boxes
 at my boyfriends and reuse them)

When the first smaller role of bubble wrap
went like a flash of lightning, I decided to
invest in this bad boy. 

First load moved!!

Okay so I got organized for the most part and my boyfriend moved my first load of stuff over tonight!

I took a picture but added more stuff since then so I actually had an SUV trunk full :)

It feels good to not be rushed.  Sunday is the day I have ordered a uhaul to move all the large furniture, like the bed, couch and armoire that has been photographed in a few pictures already :)

I still have a long way to go, there are two huge bookcases of things that I have to pack up and get out of the way before Sunday, so wish me luck!

GOING BONKERS!

I am going bonkers because, regardless of how much I clean there is more stuff and more clutter everywhere I look.

How in the world did I accumulate so much stuff?

I've only lived in this small one-bedroom apartment for 2 years & 9 months, but you'd think I'd been here for 10 years considering all the junk I have. 

Because of all this junk, when I started the task of organizing before packing, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.   Trying to get organized has proven to be overwhelming.  The past two hours I've been tackling my bedroom... now I am taking a break to write and reflect.  

Also, I feel guilty for not being outside enjoying this 90+ degree weather we are having.  Although, I did open the blinds to let the sun in.  If my neighbors can see into my apartment they are probably thinking the same thing I am:  "why does that chick need so much clothing?"  or "she must be a pack-rat!".  Hahaha maybe I am being overdramatic, who knows what is normal anyways?

Okay, that was a good break.  Next room to tackle will be the bathroom/laundry room.  

Wish me luck  :)
