201 boxes? I have about 20!

Heh. Amateur! ;o)

If we don't get cracking, we'll still be here in October!! I'll be Freeping a lot less in the next month or two, I'm sure. We have to get stuff out of here so we can start painting and freshening up. Paul graduates Law School next week, and he's planning to come home right after that to look for a place for himself. He'll be able to help SirKit do a lot of the heavier work, which will be nice, so I can concentrate on packing. Clare has her final in English class today, so she'll be concentrating on finishing up her work in the month of May so she can visit with her friend who's coming over from Japan in a couple of weeks. It will be a HUGH relief when she's all done, and the diploma is in the works.

Good luck to you Jen, and you Bear, and Rose. I don't have a hand held, but SirKit made up an Excel file so we can keep track of what's in each box so we won't have to search for stuff later. We may have to put things in storage in the time between leaving here and getting into another house, so knowing where stuff is will be helpful. He set up a system in which each of us has a set of numbers, according to birth order and boxes of things that belong to us is numbered in that sequence. SirKit's are the 100's, I'm the 200's and so on. The household stuff is in the 7 and 800's, and the tools and other outdoor stuff is the 900's. We can have 100 boxes in each category, but we might end up using some of the kids' numbers if we run out of numbers in the other groups.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down...

Actually I'm okay with Monday and rain, it's this infernal meeting to talk about a meeting that I have to go to...
