That makes me hot just looking at it. Luckily we have air conditioning in our apartment at good old Ashton Woods. As an added bonus, today someone came by and vacuumed our common areas for the first time since October! Let's hear it for maintenance! There are still, however, squares (1 x 1 foot) of dead bugs on the walls in our common hallways from the light fixture removal and replacement project last month. These will probably be cleaned up sometime in December - not our problem.
We are currently in the countdown phase to moving out (only 14 days to go) and being homeless for two weeks. Hopefully the heat will break by the time we're carrying our boxes and furniture down two flights of stairs and across the parking lot to our PODS brand moving/storage facility. Kaia has hired workers to help with some of the heavier furniture.
Packing has begun. We've packed many of the non-essential items and have already made one Goodwill run - a car full of clothes and dusty glassware. Goodbye tiny liqueur glasses that we've only used once in the past five years - it was a good run. Our plan is to pack everything except for some clothes, our camping equipment, our cats (they go to a kennel), our plants, and blast out of here on the morning of July 30th for a two week camping/crashing on our friends' couches tour of the upper Midwest - "impoverished grad student edition."
In the meantime as we continue to pack and I find myself asking questions like, do I really need this video cassette of the final episode of "Who's the Boss," "Growing Pains," "The Cosby Show," and "Cheers?"
