Actual For Real Update

I'm not actually done with packing yet - I put in 5 solid hours before the dust got to me. So I went back to the new place and started rigging electrical stuffs. The new place is woefully short of grounded outlets and none of them are anywhere near where I want to put the computer, so I picked up an outdoor extension cord and I'm running it behind where the bookcase will be and slipping it up and over the doorway so that there will be appropriate power where I want it. Also I installed screw-grounded adapters on some of the plain outlets so that I can use my power strips. AND I put those spiky anti-pigeon spikes on the formerly-poopy windowsill. I also went to Target and got a smallish bookshelf, 2 waste baskets, and a hamper. My knuckes are pretty banged up - I coated them all with Neosporin and bandages before I went to bed - and some of the spike-adhesive just won't come off.

But what is left at the old place is basically going thru the stuff that had fallen under/behind the kitchen credenza and the sewing tables and deciding what is actually useful and what is really just trash. Figure an hour or so on that if I just sit down and do it.

Also have to go and get gatorade/etc for the movers.

I just sent off a map and directions to the moving company. [livejournal.com profile] lisagems will be monitoring stuff once the movers get started and will close down the old place while I am getting the new place ready. Hopefully the move wil be done before noon and I will have a couple of hours to put stuff together and do a little unpacking before my dentist appt at 5. Two fillings (one old one new). yay me.
