Packing Day 2

I can't get Google Keep on my new phone because Google wants the old phone or the phone before that to confirm that it's me logging in. They don't seem to imagine that someone might have their phone stolen. So I won't be able to work on entries throughout the day.

I think that I forgot to mention yesterday that the movers will pack anything that I don't get done. So that's a relief. I'm getting a late start today, but I think that I needed it.

Repacked some boxes. It was about 3 PM when I loaded the old boxes in the car and took them to be recycled. I also needed to get more boxes. I was wondering if I would have enough time to make it back before nightfall, but I was dubious.

I forgot to mention that I wished that I had a dumpster while I was repacking boxes because I want to get rid of a lot of stuff. I mulled over a dumpster for the new place, but there's no good place to put one. Maybe I'll get two garbage cans for a while.

While I was driving back from the recycling place, I was swamped with a wave of sadness for no good reason. That was another reason not to go back.

As it turned out, the first U-Haul place that I went to was closed, and I wound up spending a long time at the second place because something that I was buying was not in their system. Then I went to Meijer to pick up the things that I forgot yesterday (sigh). The grocery clerk was shocked that I was paying cash. I said, "I think that I can still do that," and he said, "Yeah, that still works...for now." :)

Now I think that it's nap time. Couldn't sleep. Read part of the book about the Astors. (I finished the book about the Vanderbilts recently.)

I think that I'll have something to eat and then settle into bed. I might read for a while, but I need to be up early because the movers will be there at 8:30 AM.
