Shopping, painting, driving, donating, packing...

Fraking busy weekend!

Saturday I cleaned the house again; the two applications we've gotten for the house are from less-then-financially stable people, so I left the house up over the weekend to see if we could snag someone a little better.

I spent most of the weekend at my grandmother's in Delaware. Sunday we went shopping at the outlets in Rehoboth, and I made out like a bandit. I had a good time, bought two suits I wasn't planning on getting, didn't get a dozen things I had wanted to buy, but all in all had a good time with my Gramma. It was good to get her out of the house for the day in any case.

Today I'm back home, cleaning up the damage the kitties left for me. I'm back to painting the bedroom; I only got one coat on it, and it really needs two. There's still about 3/4 of a wall where the desk and computer are that I haven't even gotten a first coat on yet - I'll get to that at some point.

Otherwise I got my grocery shopping done (no more week+ old milk!), donated three boxes of stuff and three bags of clothing (about 1/4 of the total stuff I have) to Goodwill, dropped off 5 pairs of shoes at the cobbler to get fixed, and started packing a suitcase. That's been the worst; realizing that there is no way that I can get all I want to send over to the UK in three suitcases (two checked, one carryon). I'm going to have to mail some boxes. Luckily sending mail to an APO box is relatively inexpensive.

Now if only I could get some large, sturdy boxes....
