Update
There's way too much to get done and I am operating on way too little sleep, here.
The movers are coming tomorrow, and there's just not really enough time anymore to get everything done that I need to do. There's so much to be gone through -- the books, the clothes, the kitchen -- to separate out what we want to store and what we want to take. That's not the kind of thing anyone can do but me. Or Marty, although of course he's in Germany already.
It doesn't help that there's an open house here today, which means instead of getting ready for the movers, I have to spend time getting ready for that. And I can't just pull everything out of the cabinets until it's over, because then there would be stuff all over the place for the open house, you know. Worse than there already is, I mean.
Then there's that inventory I need to make of everything in the house before it gets packed up tomorrow. Looks like that's going to be pretty darn general.
I've worked hard every day this week since I've been home, and I guess this was just too much for one person to finish alone.
Yesterday I tried to make a backup of my whole computer. It got halfway done and then hit some kind of error and cancelled the whole process. That was after burning 25 CDs. (I think total, it would've taken over 50.) I don't have time to do another one (and who's to say it wouldn't do the same thing again, anyway?) because I have to be there to switch them out every couple of minutes. I guess if I get a chance I will just back up my documents and hope for the best.
And last night my trusty Lexmark just started acting very, very strangely. One minute it was printing fine, and the next... well, I think it might be dead now. It had a good run, though. I've had it since 1998. And when I think how many CD covers I've printed on it -- probably thousands -- and how good they all looked, I don't feel too bad about it.
Well, I'd better go see about breakfast. I also have to get Ziggy out of here today -- he's going over to stay at Clarissa's now until time for him to leave for Germany. Or at least for the next week, and I may board him after that. Depends on how well he and Clarissa get along.
