The Countdown

Finally, after all this build up, it's now my last night in my 16th street apartment. Hooray! I am so excited for this move to be over.

I had my apartment sale this afternoon, and learned the joy of having very low expectations. I had a really random list of items for sale, like you do on these sorts of occasions, and with a somewhat dubious mindset I was setting my goal at 20 bucks. I figured that would at least have been worth my time, and I could then say I had given it a fair shot before junking a lot of things.

Guess what? I made $73.50! I sold the microwave, 2 microwave carts, a rug, a CD player, and some really odd items that I'd been carrying with me for years, like a massaging chair cover and a foot bath. Who knew? And that amount is almost exactly what the charge will be for the Zipcar tomorrow, so I'm a very happy camper.

And, 2 items that I'd sorta only reluctantly put up for sale didn't find any takers, so that means I get to keep them! Even though my wooden coat tree, which I'm proud of having put together myself, and my big, deep red rug aren't really *needed* in the new place, I'm happy to find a way to make them work. I really do love that rug, so I'm glad no one bought it!

Now, I'm just killing time and doing the little things.... ugh, packing up a bathroom and a kitchen are the worst. But it will soon all be over, and all for the better. Then I have to come back and clean... but that's a worry for another day. Wish me luck!
