Packing and Storage in Las Vegas

Yesterday, February 6, I went to the doctor and then took several items to the storage facility. By the time I returned home, I was tired so I took a nap. I missed my grief counselling meeting and the Feast of Mulk last night. This morning I am tired and my back hurts.

I lifted a side stand from the car to the transport cart and then into the storage unit, so I think that is why my back hurts today. I have several boxes to pack today, so I think I will take them to the storage unit on Friday and Saturday.

I have to put items in my car which means I can only take the things that fit in the car. When I get ready to take the dining room table and the dresser, I will have to get a truck and some help to load and unload the items. Fortunately, I am not taking a couch or love seat; the ones I have will go out to the curb for the trash or anyone who wants to pick them up.

Tuesday thoughts on coffee, packing, and writing

It is Tuesday and I am already behind. I am moving. I am downsizing. I am feeling rushed. Why am I making a blog entry when I have dresser drawers to empty? Why am I making a blog entry when I have boxes to pack? Why am I making a blog entry when I have stuff  to give away or throw away?

Coffee is the answer. I do not want my coffee to get cold while I am cleaning out dresser drawers or packing boxes. I do not like to throw leftover coffee out, which is the reason I warm coffee up in the microwave. I do not like to drink cold coffee, so I sit down at the computer and compose a blog entry while I am drinking my warmed up leftover coffee.

If I drink coffee while I am packing, the coffee gets cold. I will warm up some apple juice when I go to pack because it does not matter if the apple juice gets cold. I can drink apple juice cold or warm, but this time of year I prefer my coffee hot. If I drink coffee while I write, my coffee does not get cold because I take a sip of coffee every sentence or so.
