Done? Oh, I Wish

Yeah, it's Monday. And no, we are not done moving.
Since we aren't going so far, we thought it would be alright to go without getting a U-Haul. Which, technically, is a fine decision, but it would have made life so much easier to have one!
We've made multiple trips already, and have about three left (the last one being rather small, if things work out).
And then, that doesn't include going back and cleaning the old apartment. *Sigh*...I'm not looking forward to that!

I would have much rather been more prepared.
Yes, lots of stuff was packed already, but not nearly enough. It's been a lot of scrambling and stuffing things in boxes and looking around tiredly trying to figure out what is more important out of what is left to take.
It's been stressful. There have been sharp words, I will not lie. There has been lots of sweat, blood, but luckily no tears. Blood on the Mister's part, as he seems to be prone to random cuts the past few days - nothing more than a bad paper cut, though!

I posted this picture on Friday on Facebook and Instagram, and as we actually brought all the clothes Sunday, I can attest that this actually worked out. Would have been better if I hadn't of used cheap garbage bags, but my goodness, it will be SO much easier to put things in the closet! Which, no, we haven't done yet (we have two closets in the apartment, and haven't figured out which belongs to who...because why not each have one?!).

This was our living room Friday afternoon, before starting to load up the truck for the first trip - and of course we moved our desks and computers first!
This doesn't show the space well, but it was a matter of only having walkways to get around. What it does show is just how...mismanaged we are going about this.

We do, however, have an almost completely moved kitchen, 100% moved bathroom, and 100% moved office (as we have an office now - score!).
What's left is some dishes, movies and books, fish tanks, the coffee table, my filing cabinet, and some other random bits and bobs.

Progress is being made. Things are also being unpacked.
We started Friday, and we slept in the new apartment Friday night, with our bed and our regular bedding. We've been able to shower in the new apartment, and would have been able to cook, had we been a bit better at planning all this out...except our fridge and freezer aren't working right (and need to get that taken care of as soon as possible this morning!), so that kind of takes away from being able to cook, but at this point we have everything we need!

But we are tired. We are stressed. There's still a lot to do (so far as cleaning the old place) and it needs to be done sooner than later.
However, it's getting done. And we haven't killed each other yet.
So I think that's a win.

P.S. Want a bit of a laugh? I have one for you.
Brilliant me had the idea of wearing a tank top Friday, as it would be hot and miserable work, and tank tops are, well, less fabric. Though, silly me, didn't think of the amount of time I would be outside.

Yeahhhhh...burnt to a crisp.
Lucky me, as I wasn't out in the constant sun, it faded overnight for the most part. I've got a bit more tinge of pink on my shoulders than normal, but it'll be gone in another day or two!
So, ladies and gentlemen, always wear sunscreen. And if you know of one that doesn't smell of, well, sunscreen, let me know - as that's the only way you'll get me to wear any!
