awhyzipI spent the weekend in Northampton, raided my folks' furniture, collected my electric kettle, celebrated Rebecca W's birthday, and cleaned my old bedroom.
There was a box of dorm-room junk I'd been wanting to get rid of for a long time. But it was so big (and my honestly spacious room so crowded with this and other unused piles & boxes) that I had not felt able to tackle in in any of my always-too-brief overnights home -- it would be worse to leave the task mid-process than not to start.
Well, this time Hebrew School was cancelled for OMG-SNOW*, and I didn't feel like I had to rush for Monday eithier. So I started -- and rapidly finished -- the Box. Reduced it into a tiny clutter of still-good things to give away, a big pile of clothes for my dad to donate (I'd entirely forgotten there were even any clothes in there in the first place!), and one small bag's worth of things to keep. I feel accomplished! This is one major step towards my goal of making the room useful to my parents again.
Now I am in the old apartment (the middle apartment), where I still have internet. I dropped of the car load from Noho into the new, downstairs, place. I want to collect my last loads of stuff out of here this afternoon, but it's hard for me to figure out where to start... Will just have to start somewhere
Birthday party to be on weekend after my birthday.
*and the snow amount... about 3 inches in northampton, at the most. rather disappointing. I hear it was more, in Boston?
