Just Relax

I have taken this next week off of work because my roomies and I are moving out of our apartment. Brett flew into town yesterday to help pack up and move her furniture out of the apartment. She leaves on Wednesday. Anthony, plans to go out of town on Wednesday and come back Sunday. We have until Monday,the 31st, to move out.
Last night Brett and Anthony discussed when they should move her stuff into her storage unit - Today, or next weekend. Today because it was the only day they could borrow a friend's truck, or next weekend (when the truck would be available again) and when a)Brett is gone and b)Anthony and I are trying to move our stuff. the decision, of course, was to move the furniture at the end of the week. This was supported by Anthony, because he was going to have to help move the furniture anyway and apparently he thinks it will be easier since he is moving his stuff to the storage unit too. I don't get it.

I am wishing we could go ahead and get all of her stuff out, because then I could get my stuff out early too and we could ALL clean the living room and kitchen areas. Now it is going to be left up to me and Anthony. If ever I wondered why I was moving out, now I remember.

Brett decided to come out this weekend because it is her birthday weekend (birthday is tomorrow) so she really just wants to see friends and hang out for the trip. She will finish packing up her stuff, but somehow I think the cleaning is going to go undone.

Whatever, this is my week of vacation. on Monday we (Brett, her boyfriend, and I) are going to head up to the Grand Canyon because he is from Philly and has never been to Arizona. I haven't been to the canyon since a spur-of-the-moment trip my family took one Thanksgiving when I was in high school. I am really looking forward to it!

Also, there are some other good things. Brett has agreed to let me keep all the furniture I wanted! I thought because we had bought some pieces together she might fight me for some items but it turns out she doesn't really want them.

And, I have a week off from work!!! It is also Michaela's last week of work since the school year is ending, so I think we are going to have a couple lazy days in the pool, punctuated by slow, possibly more methodical, packing. I don't think I will be able to get into my new apartment before the 31st, so I also took the 1st off from work so I could get myself situated.

I am so excited to have the time off and get a new place. I am going to try to be Zen about everything else. It is just one week...just one week...just one week. And most of that time I will be alone, which will be nice, it also means, I get to pack everything I want of our communal stuff, and leave the rest for Anthony to take care of. I mean really, who leaves town the week you are supposed to move out?! Zen.
