Ack!  We have only two more days to pack and then it will be time to load the truck!  Part of me is glad, because the end is in sight, but I’m also wondering how it is all going to get done.  We’re up to 56 boxes (I think, I don’t have the list in front of me) in the house and I have no idea how much more remains.  It seems like there isn’t all that much, but then I look around and see more and more that needs to be packed.  We worked on the master bedroom last night and we whittled down our closets to just the things we’ll be wearing the next couple months.  It was a strange exercise, and I’m really wondering how all this is going to work out.  It should be interesting…

I’ve been doing lots of laundry recently too, and I have a new appreciation for my washing machine and dryer.  I’m going to miss those contraptions.  I am also really going to miss running water and sinks.  I am not going to miss scrubbing floors, cleaning bathrooms and vacuuming though!

It is really remarkable how dirty this house looks since I have been doing a minimal amount of all those tasks I usually do in the course of a week.  The floors look filthy and the carpet desperately needs to be vacuumed.  But I figure there is no point in doing any of that until we move stuff out, since all we’re going to do is track dirt everywhere in the process.  I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m going to be up very late Sunday night so I can finally clean.
