Today, my apartment is officially void of all (ok, most) of my belongings. I had a few friends come over and help me haul an extremely heavy tv to my garage, as well as one remaining book shelf which met its end only a few feet from the garage. It will not be missed.
its crazy to think that it won't be too much longer until I can return to a place of my own, though I have yet to hear of a time frame for the repairs. My mother and I have agreed on acceptable colors for the walls, I have a plan on how I want the rooms to be when I move back in, we're in good contact with the company who is in charge of the rebuild, and though not everyone is satisfied with the job that has been done so far, I am still grateful for all the hard work everyone involved has done.
it felt really good when my editor and I finished packing our final boxes. The last bits of cleaning we did, including removing an unsettling amount of mold from our refrigerator (which led to me getting sick after being in that environment for a week), may still have been futile, but it felt good to do something. We got rid of a lot of our things, which was a very hard thing to do, but it was necessary. I'm really looking forward to unpacking everything, because I will probably get rid of a lot more things as I go through it all.
until that point, its life back in the box for me.
