I have packed and boxed and stacked and stored all weekend.
The study is almost empty, so is the lounge room. We've cleared out a lot of the dining room, it's just what's on the dining table now.
We have the lounge room pretty much divested of everything, and the lounge itself will be going tomorrow or the day after. Apparently a lot of people want a leather lounge, although the current person who is coming for it keeps badgering me for photos of any damage. I haven't given him the address yet, and I'm really liking the person who's next in line...
My bedroom needs the figurines taken down (and dusted off), and the last of the things under the bed taken out and moved away.
My study desk needs moving back and across, and also clearing and sorting. I have a whole pile of papers that are going to get sorted over the next week and boxed up and put away. I'm going to have a fairly major issue if I need to find anything, on the other hand. And I should probably get my tax filing for last financial year sorted out.
So many little things to do still, though. Sorting and packing and moving things away from the windows on the porch. That's still a job and a half. A friend was going to come over today and help, but he didn't contact me or turn up so I'm guessing he either forgot or got busy with his family (his SIL is coming to live with him and the family, so they're probably busy).
Laundry tidying up. Kitchen tidying up.
The big thing that I'll need help with is getting the three external shades down off the outside walls next weekend. I can pretty much do the internal curtains myself (oh, those'll need boxing up).
Oh, man, also: dropcloths. Must ask if anyone in the neighbourhood has some that they'd be willing to loan.
I'm absolutely shattered.
But I went out last night with friends from church. Actually, I kind of invited myself after I heard a few were going to see a band play at an inner-city pub. But they were amenable and didn't seem to mind, so...that's good. Still feeling a bit raw lately, though.
Okay, about to go pick up the sister from the party she's been at all day. I'm glad she had the day out, but she's probably going to be a little bit wrecked tomorrow. Also possibly a bit wrecked after she sees what I did with the furniture around the place...
