Taking Care of Business

Originally I was disappointed that I would not be able to move this coming weekend. Right now I'm quite thankful for that fact. Given that I have not actually been home for more than two consecutive nights within the past three weeks (or at least I don't think I have been), it's nice to sit in one geographical location for at least a short period of time. That and I have a few business-like items to tend to before making the official move.

I have a list of to-do items for tomorrow (I think I may be a chronic 'to-do' list maker). It includes everything from reserving a Uhaul trailer, calling my apartment complex about Internet access, finding an insurance agent in IN, closing my MI checking account, checking out a toaster oven, calling my middle school principal about coaching the middle school cross country team, calling the Madison Grant payroll clerk, and digging through the closet basement to find a director's chair for my classroom (and to think that will be the same director's chair I used to play teacher as a child- oh the irony of it all). And that all needs to be done before 9 so I can go running with Kirstin. Ok, so maybe only the phone calls need to happen before then. ;)

It really is a strange balance at present. I'm living out of a suitcase for the next two weeks. My room is nearly stripped of its furniture and, as much as I have boxed and ready to go, I feel as though things won't be done until that back door on the Uhaul trailer is locked and we pull out of the driveway. I'll probably forget something crucial and mom and dad will have to save me by bringing it back down when they visit for KK's Welcome Weekend at TU. Yet somehow I'll survive.

Ok, completely switching tracks now. Flashback to last week while I was in IN. I found an apartment! I'm not entirely positive it'll be ready in time- it still needs new carpet- but it's all that had the possibility of being ready for me in time. Pictures of the model are included below. Pictures of mine will be supplied as they become available. :)

you only think you're a compulsive to-do list maker? you're not very self-aware, are you roommate?

should i nix the "i think" and just say "i am"? is that what you are attempting to imply?

Recently I've actually been really good at completing to-do lists as well as creating them. :)
