Where is my toothbrush?

I never thought I had this much stuff.

Currently, most of my stuff is occupying the living room. I would like to get that cleaned up and organized so I can get everything out of the boxes.

But I can’t do that until I get the boxes out of the way. Vicious cycle.

For the entire afternoon, and most of this morning, I’ve been cleaning out the most disgusting cupboards in the history of the world. I wish I could take a flame thrower to it, but I think that would be a bit much. So I’ve been peeling the old, disgusting, filth-ridden shelf paper off, disinfecting and cleaning the fuck out of it and putting on brand new shelf paper.

I’m also unpacking boxes and running things through the dishwasher as needed.

As soon as I get the kitchen in some semblance of order, I can move the litter box and the cat bowls out of my office and down to the kitchen. THEN I can start moving the multitude of boxes from the living room and into the office for the time being. I need to assemble my TV stand and buy a couple of yards of coax cable and figure out how in the hell I’m hooking up the TV.

*sigh*

I have knots the size of 1957 Chevys on my shoulders and my left knee is wonky as hell from kneeling on the floor scrubbing cabinents.

On top of that, I need an electrician to run a 220v outlet to my new dryer. I don’t know any electricians. Anyone? Bueller?

(New washer and dryer – that’s a whole other story that I need to tell some other time)

Apparently today is garbage day. I didn’t know that until after they were pulling away. Dammit. I really hope they take all my stuff next week. I have a LOT of garbage. Mostly packing shit and boxes, but still.

Ok – self-appointed breaktime is over. Time to go back to work!!

  1. Ah, the joys of home ownership. I can’t wait!

  2. Congrats on your new home, and all of the pains that are associated with it. :D

  3. Hubby & Matt may be able to help – they rewired the downstairs without burning anything down or electrocuting themselves!

  4. You should be able to recycle a good portion of that packing material. Or save it if you’ve got room. You never know when a little extra bubble wrap might come in handy.

    Glad you’re moved, though! I’ll be posting more about my move soon.

  6. Need some more help? Since y’know, I’m just down the street? :) I can always bring a new toothbrush as a “housewarming” present :P
