Bumming Around

Spent the day in bed, watching Friends online and taking sporadic naps. The boyfriend came over in the morning before leaving town to Kingston until Friday. His family owns student housing up there and since now is the time that old tenants move out and new tenants move in, he's going up with his uncle to supervise it. He wants to get into property management and is hoping that eventually he can take over the family business (around 15 houses up there) so hes trying to help out anyway he can right now. He's the baby of the family as well as sort of the black sheep (the only university drop-out in the history of a family that is made up of doctors, lawyers, politicians, engineers and one cousin who is a professor at MIT). Therefore he has a lot to prove and a long way to go. He's currently in college right now and finished last semester with four 90's and one 78 =) I'm so proud of him because he has come so far from the unmotivated scholar that he was when I met him.

So, I moved out of my house in collegetown last Friday and left for Chicago two days later. That means I came back to a room FILLED with suitcases, boxes, clothes on the ground, and lots of other random goodness. I planned to start cleaning my room yesterday but could not bring myself to do it. Today I tried and at first it was sort of like "where do I start?!!" It is such a disaster. What I did accomplish

  • Sorted and separated 60% of my clothes and prepared them for hanging!
  • Hung up all my good purses and threw my old/unusable purses into a shopping bag
  • Organized magazines/cards/books
  • Cleaned out my desk
  • Tucked all my boxes away
What I still need to do

  • Finish sorting and separating the other 40% of my clothes
  • Hang up all my clothes, one closet for work/winter and other for casual/summer
  • Get rid of all the huge suitcases my parents stacked in both of my closest... they are taking up waay to much room!
  • Identify all my old/unwearable clothes that I want to donate or throw away.
  • Do laundry
I'm thinking I will do the first three tomorrow, and the rest on Thursday. I actually don't plan on going out at all until Friday. Many of my friends are busy/away but also it's nice to just lie around and do absolutely nothing for awhile. The boyfriend is calling me soon, is it sad I miss him a little even after spending an entire week with him and seeing him this morning? Oh well!
