Well I've made some progress this week. Which is good because I am now at the 3 week mark. I have been reflecting on how quickly the last 7 weeks have gone. It's sort of ridiculous actually, I don't know where the time has gone.
My room is mostly packed up. I somehow managed to get everything I'm keeping into 3 large rubbermaid containers to go into storage and a box that's going with me. In the garage there are at least 4 large boxes full of donations - plus an assortment of bags & other containers. And I totally lucked out because the Northwest Center trucks are driving through my neighborhood Wednesday so I don't even have to take it to goodwill!! :D
Next week, in addition to my 21st birthday (which is Wednesday) I have to complete the moving process out of my house. Luckily I only have 2 pieces of furniture to worry about but I do need to find a way to transport them to their storage locations.
The largest hurdle I am currently facing is what to do with my beloved cat, Chloe. She needs to find a foster home for a year. She's a sweetheart, a little antisocial but adorable none-the-less. Originally the plan was to leave her with my awesome roommates, but alas, their cat has decided he won't share to affection with someone else. (Even though he's perhaps more skittish than Chloe) He swiped at her pretty badly a couple weeks ago, and did some noticeable damage so it was decided best if she try to find a different foster home.
The whole process is pretty surreal. I'll be move-out cleaning my room Thursday/Friday and then Friday I hand over the keys. I can't seem to find the right way of describing it, the odd feelings that surround when going through a move like this.
So many things to get rid of that one normally would bring with them on a move... sheets, storage boxes, my tv, cups, towels.... just not things you normally wouldn't just abandon. You replace when they wear out, etc.
It's a totally new adventure. I'm excited. And I think that I'm not going to realize how quickly time is flying until it's too late.
