“I should make a list of what we did. My mother is a big fan.”

“Yeah, you should do that before we forget what the fuck we did.”

One coat of Mulling Spice in the bedroom; we’re not sure if that’s the color. Opinions are mixed. More opinions are needed.

White paint in my closet. Using a drill, a hammer, and a pair of vice grips, got the old shitty shelf bracket out, leaving about a two-inch hole in the drywall. Patched and mudded that hole. Stopped painting.

Lin painted her bedroom and trim. Needs at least one more coat.

Organized some boxes, moving things that go in the basement away from things that do not, moving things that were in the coat closet for no reason away from things that were in the coat closet for a reason.

Set up a workspace for myself in the dining room. With a lamp and a table and everything.

Worked a little, ha ha ha.

Spent the second night in the new house.

Today, I cleared out the living room in Centreville; I’m going to Freecycle the octagonal glass table, and there’s some stuff on it, but all (and I mean all) the other living room furniture is empty and ready to be moved. Took the shelves out of all the bookcases and media furniture and wrapped them up. Even took the shelves and glass blocks out of the closet. Moved the DVR in its box. Put the big Dell monitor in its box. Tried and failed to move the TV.

Brought over some more random stuff. Staged a crapload of stuff (at least I hope it’s a crapload) for the next load the Sedklisches are able to do.

Got a notice from the homeowners association saying I needed to fix my house numbers (done), move my trash to the back of the house (done, with prejudice), and mow the lawn (what the fuck do you people want, I did that).

Tomorrow (or tonight, if I can get my ass in gear) I need to get the upstairs in order, attempt to disassemble the Sleep Number bed, and get the many things I forgot Lin asked me to bring: Magic Erasers, the denim curtains, the small TV . . .
