indications of progress

i would have written sooner, but i've been so busy! (and tired.)

so the unpacking has continued with great success. today donna and i tackled The Books. anyone who has either a) been to my home, or b) helped me move, knows that my book collection is the largest, not to mention heaviest, percentage of my belongings. so getting the bookshelf assembled and the books unpacked eliminated 8-10 boxes, plus all the dvds and cds too. it literally brought light into the house -- all those boxes were stacked in front of windows that now allow sunlight to pass through.

i've been doing laundry, trying to unpack and arrange my office (the second bedroom), replenshing my food supply, setting up my front porch, and, of course, shopping. i'm trying to get as much done as possible before i get to play auntie babysitter this week -- though i am looking forward to it. :)

tomorrow, we have an errand that is essential to the outcome of my move: pedicures. don't laugh, i'm serious. i'm wearing flip flops in november. my toes need to look good.
