I Can’t Put It Off Any Longer

The flippers have agreed to fix the window with the broken seal before closing. It was added to the list of items that have to be completed that includes fixing the fire code issue in the basement, installing the smoke detectors, checking the exhaust fan for the oven/stove, and fixing the light over the back of the garage among a few other minor things like adding a garbage disposal.

So…I’ve put it off as long as I can. The packing boxes that I ordered online and thought would be delivered by today won’t be here until Tuesday, but I need to get started packing. I only have 3 weekends, maybe 4 if the closing gets put off until after Thanksgiving. My goal for this weekend is to pack up my CDs, DVDs, knick knacks, file cabinet, desk, and games. I need boxes for this. I tried asking for some on Freecycle and got nary a reply. I grabbed only one paper box from work. So Office Depot or Office Max it is this afternoon.

I think I’ll just start piling the boxes up in a corner in the office upstairs and go from there.

I just am leary. I have this bad feeling that I’ll get all packed and everything will fall through. I have that kind of luck.

   I’m so enviously excited for you! We’re still renting and I’m so itching to buy something of my own!

   Good luck with everything!

   Oh, if there are any video/music stores around like Media Play or maybe Best Buy, they sometimes have some nice sized really strong boxes.

   I can’t believe it is happening so fast. House sales move much more slowly here. Good luck with the packing.
