They don't? How can anyone live that way?
17 days. Not that I'm counting or anything.
Actually 16 days 3 hours and 5 minutes but I am not counting either. I have a little application that does it FOR me :D
Yeah. Just not fair. It's nice to know I'm wanted and all, but...
Well, let this be a lesson to those employers.
Find someone good, better hang on to them before they're gone.
It's still too long but getting closer.
A little over two weeks away, huh? Not ~too~ bad.
Maybe it's because of the homeschooling, since I'm on three different message boards, and Moderate one of them. I just don't like being out of touch. Probably my nosy nature. ;o)
I copied it so I can try it.
I get twitchy if I can't get to mine...or to FR. ;-)
Grr...I need ta just get this phone call over with, but I've managed to stall all morning. Did at least get most of the remaining furniture up on Craig's List, complete with pictures. I'm waiting on the bed, though I suppose I could always say "I'm selling it, but would like to wait on pick-up and payment until [day before I leave]."
That's perfectly reasonable. Just say the bed is for sale, but not available for pick up until whatever date. You may want to set it two days before you leave to give them an extra day in case of emergency, bad weather, etc. You've got the air mattress, so you could do a night on that if necessary.
I'm kinda doing some decluttering before getting ready to take pictures of the bed for posting. My room is a disaster area! Jen mentioned there wasn't any reason I couldn't start putting boxes in the van - stuff I'm not going to mail. So...I'm starting to set those to one side to carry down in a bit.
And I still haven't made the darn phone call. Now I really should wait until after lunch time.
Already had three folks contact me with questions about the desk, so there's that.
I have SO much de-cluttering to do. I think I'm going to pretend we're moving and throw or give away anything I don't want to have to PAY someone to move for me. That will be a challenge, I can tell you!
I still have too much stuff, even after moving halfway across country. There are so many little things I've kept just for sentimental reasons...silly little things like concert programs. At least they don't take up a whole lot of space. Also have tons of old journals. I haven't been completely faithful to those or I'd need a truck to move...but there are still quite a few. I've kept one off and on since before I could write. Honestly.
Books are still the bulk of things, though. I know I can always replace stuff like Agatha Christie, but it's taken me *years* to build up my collection o' books, so I have trouble letting any go.
I have trouble going without email in the time I spend in class! Two days, ridiculous!
However I try at least a couple times a year to ignore all email and such for a weekend - usually when I go visit someone! It's like a retreat, or something.
Oh good, because I just sent you one ;D
Another very dead day around here.
Chear up! You are moving on to better and more interesting things.
