Our moving efforts certainly haven't been helped by the teaming rain that has been happening every couple of hours. We had to repack the boxes from the move sale yesterday and then put them on a table, tarped, for the AKF. Fortunately, Alan talked the AKF into taking just about everything -- all but the sideboard, the cat condo, and the dining set. This am, Alan lugged the cat condo to the curb and Dekalb County took it -- amazing since it was totally soaked and weighed about 75 lbs. Still trying to find a taker on the sideboard. The dining set we'll haul to the curb or we may still get a junk service to finish everything up.

Made an appt for an HVAC person to come look at the cooling system Friday and had a handyman do a walkthrough for a price on all the work needed before we can rent. He seemed very competent. Then had a lovely dinner with Tina Brownley at Bistro Niko. We are going to miss all our friends so much...

Today I decided to organize the house, starting with the guest bedroom. Grouped my clothes, photos, and then tried to create the authoritative car box of records. Found yet more stuff to shred.....groan.... After lunch at Marlowe's proceeded to the dining room and boxed all the books on the shelves! There are like 38 boxes of books. That's compared with a running total of 47 of housewares! Boxed all the glass I could until I ran out of paper. I think we should be in ok shape wrt boxing things up. It's all the sorting of the various drawers that will be a pain. Still, there is starting to be room in the house with quite a bit of furniture gone.

And, in an exciting development, we got our Dartmouth email addresses!
