Progress, and all that...

My mom has made a lot of progress on packing. My delegation has made her a little nervous. (I asked her to take pictures to document the apartment before we completely tear it apart. She wanted me to review them before she started taking my pictures down. They were fine. I wish that I had documented the apartment when it was in better shape, but oh well.) Apparently my delegation skills are a little rusty though because I dashed home to do laundry, and I could have asked her to do it while I was at work.

Delegation or not, we're running into the problem of not enough me to go around. There are some things, like clothes and books and papers, that I need to sort into piles to go to Michigan or go into storage. I need to sort the books that I want to get rid of into books that I want to sell (in Michigan) and books to dump in the convenient Better World Books drop near Meijer. There are some things that I want to give away on Freecycle. So I think that my departure from work is timely, although I'm not looking forward to it.

My mom is feeling a lot more confident that we'll get everything packed before Wednesday. (She panicked when I told her that the move was that early.) We have a lot to do, but I'm feeling pretty confident that we'll get everything done too.

I'm in good shape for work tomorrow. I just need to sort through a little more e-mail. I've gone through my files, and took my stuff out tonight, when I had a nearby parking spot and still had keys.

Speaking of work, I need to finish kitty maintenance and go to sleep because tomorrow is going to be a long, difficult day.
