Hubby is sleeping the morning away again. I woke up for a bit at about 4 am, but after another hour of sleep I stayed up. Yesterday we did a bit more packing and organization. The attic still needs a lot of the latter. A friend will come a few more times to help before our move. It's always best when she and Hubby work together. I get too angry about the amount of stuff, plus Hubby is so picky about tasks and seems to reject most of my suggestions. That friend likely helps preserve our marriage throughout all of this. Even she google translated "You are a very patient person." and showed it to me privately.
As for my category of stuff (Hubby hates when I put it like that)? The largest amount are kitchenwares and other food-related items. Obviously glasses and dishes need careful packing. I'll try to pack some ahead, all but what we'll still need. However, the issue becomes too many boxes blocking the way. When it comes to my clothes, some will go in suitcases to take with us to the temporary residence. The rest (especially summer clothes) go with the other stuff. I'll be able to pack the clothes in an hour or less. Hubby? A lot longer. He will NOT let me pack his stuff. He's too particular about it all.
My meal planning is to get rid of a lot of stuff from our fridge, freezer, and pantry before the move and diet. Actually, it also gets my mind off of the stress. Most days I'm staying under 1,400 calories per day. I have all meals planned through this Friday, to date. After Sunday, it's unsure what will be happening. We may have to head north to look into things there.
