fleaAfter a weekend of lethargy and overwhelm, I have been getting so much done today I am starting to feel - well, a little overwhelmed.
-emailed some cleaners (who I think are summer-working college students, so pass my ethics test) about helping deep-clean the kitchen and bathroom. This became more necessary after I realized we are going to need to WASH the WALLS in the kitchen. How have I lived in this filth for so long?
-forwarded mail.
-listed for free baby stuff, including the crib Dillo is sleeping in right now (um, oops?). Turns out the graduate student parents list-serv is the way to get rid of baby stuff for free. The crib was a loaner from my coworker and she'd said she wanted it back but this morning when I tried to arrange pickup she said maybe she'd like to give it away as her 15 year old has a serious girlfriend suddenly and she has a weird karmic feeling that to bring the crib back into her house would risk teenage pregnancy (hee!). So I listed it with the other stuff and am getting 1 million emails. Dillo has been napping in it but spending most of every night in our bed, so what the hell. He is 2 and should transition to the double-bed futon pretty well at the new house (my plan of sharing a room in bunk beds is meeting Casper resistance, and he'd fall out of a full-height bed I suspect - fall out of our bed occasionally), and I can set up the pack n play for naps.
-Moo mini-cards came - they are TINY. But cute and I am feeling v. clever. Will hand them out at farewell party at work, farewell cookout, and when we meet new people in Athens. They have our xmas card photo, names, address, cell #, and emails.
-another Bookmooch, package to Mother, packed up. Set Bookmooch to vacation.
-Assembling stuff for a Goodwill run tomorrow AM while we take Dillo for his checkup.
-Need to call TROSA about furniture pickup.

Date: 2008-07-15 01:52 am (UTC)So I should just get rid of four years' worth of little girl clothes, the bassinette and all the early development toys because I think I'm running out of eggs at this rate.
