Much thanks to

kevin_standlee, drewkitty, murphymom, and tetralizard for all their help. In the Pit of Despair we went from this:



To this:



That doesn't count the amazing work done in the living room. All four bookcases have now been mostly cleared, things are boxed up, we filled my truck with Goodwill donations, and the neighbors are going to hate us when they see the dumpster. We're not ready to move yet, but we're much closer.

Thanks again, everyone! Not just for the hard work, but just having people around helped keep things moving.

We were going to go see an apartment tomorrow, but the listing has been withdrawn. Poo. We've applied at one place, and called two others.

Glad I could help. If you're looking for moving boxes, see this entry (http://jorhett.livejournal.com/244025.html) from jorhett, who is getting rid of moving boxes. I suspect that I know other people with empty boxes who would give them away if you need them.

I can get all the boxes we could ever possibly use from work, so we're set on that front. Thanks for the pointer, though!

Wish I could help, kids, I truly do.

I'll try to get to the storage unit tomorrow to empty my car, then come by and pick up the other things I couldn't fit into it today. And Stefan and I can come by with the truck either Mon., Tue., or Weds. evening to pick up the kitchen table and chairs.

Not a problem at all. I'm glad I could help. The funny thing I think we have learned is get your OCD/super organized friends over and it's amazing what transforms before your eyes. Hugs
