Weekend Double Duty

I can't believe it takes an hour and a half by bus to get to Emanuel where I work when it only takes me 45 minutes by car on a heavy traffic day. I'm grumbling because I am to be at work at 11 am (Split shifts 11a-7:30p until I leave) and in order to pick up my Clif bar and Life Water I have to be out of the house no later than 0845. Ugh. I am going to pack my computer up to haul in with me because I am trying to finish up all of my health class this weekend. That leaves only reading for sociology to do, and then my sociology comp final at the end of next week.

Tomorrow my mom is swinging by her friend's who recently moved back into the "area" (Silverton) and getting me a plethora of Ethel's boxes (the friend) so that this coming week I can start packing incidentals like artwork, photographs, keepsakes, etc. I am currently living in a town house and since Stephen was 6 weeks old I have had his pictures running the length of the wall of my staircase. It is going to be so odd seeing the place where those photos have "always" been empty. The reality of this move is really beginning to sink in. I would love to leave stuff out longer but I know that the longer I do after I can legitimately start packing, the more stressed I am going to be. Ideally I want to have everything but the large furniture packed (and even the couches cleaned and ready to go!!) by the beginning of the third week of July. This means I can spend the last week "deposit" cleaning the apartment.

This coming week is going to be busy: finishing school, starting packing, and taking care of stuff like making doctor's appointments, especially so we can space shots out for Stephen. I've been discussing the immunization process with him, trying not to just spring it on him and give him the irrational fear of shots I had as a child. I also need to schedule several exams (prescription fills, etc) for myself, as well. I want to have all my t's crossed and i's dotted when it comes down to the wire.

Anyway, I need to get Stephen to preschool and get myself finished for work. I think I need 48 hour days, sometimes!!
