First friends and family, I want to apologize. I know most of my posts lately have been about moving, the move and packing. At the moment, this is my life and that’s what’s on my mind and you are the victim, as the faithful reader of this blog.

Second, I promise this will not be all my posts going forward! It will be for a few more days and then there will be posts peppered here and there when the move finally happens, the unmove/unpacking when I finally get there and then exciting new adventures! I can’t wait to take you with me.

With that being said, it’s really coming along! I am still going crazy with all the chaos and clutter, yes, friends, I, JRS, said clutter! Anyone that knows me knows I like a good mess; the living room is clean and tidy, but there are crafting things on the table or in the corner, my desk is always cluttered, I have no excuse for that, bedroom is put together, but there are some books or yarn laying around, I’m ok with that. This is driving me C R A Z Y! There is stuff EVERYWHERE!!!

When I was a kid, my parents thought the next world disease outbreak was going to start in my room! I was a Messy Marvin and proud of it! When the cleaners would come, everything would go on the bed, after they left, right back on the floor! What is it they say, a messy desk is the sign of a brilliant mind!

The hard thing with packing, for me anyway, is that I get bored of one room after a while; I am packing, packing, packing and then I am so done with that room, I go to another, so every room is in a state of getting done. But…lo and behold, as I pack a little here and a little there, move this over there, I look around and there are boxes stacked in the closets and I can see floor! It’s really coming along!

I can see this room being done soon and I can see that room next, it’s crazy how that happens. Every time I come across a piece of clothing, into the closet it goes, uh oh…I went in there earlier and thought “I am so not looking forward to packing this closet” but then I was just in there pulling out bags to pack [Yes, I said BAGS! I already have 2 boxes – Hi my name is JRS and I am a bagaholic!] and cleared some space and realized that it won’t be too hard to pack the closet, crisis averted!

I am sitting in my office, newly staged, but not quite ready to show you pictures, those will probably come tomorrow, as I am so close, I can taste it and want to be done with it! And I am thinking, ok, it’s almost done, two rooms down, then the bedroom.  It feels good.

I had a great idea today, I asked one of my neighbor’s son’s to move boxes down to the garage, wahoo, how smart am I? He wasn’t available today, so later this week and then when I get a POD, I will hire him to pack the POD, what a huge weight off my shoulders! The garage is almost ready to go!

The best part of all this, I am looking to the future…when all this packing is done and the house is staged, I am looking forward to sitting on “my personality” and doing nothing! I know, those of you that know me are saying, “I just don’t see that happening!” Well, I don’t either, but it sounds good!

Gotta go, another box to pack!
