coraaToday is Final Unpacking Push Day, because ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jmpava is off at the trade show helping his father again. I don't clean well in company -- I clean well all alone with an IPod -- so the deal is that I'm doing this while he's out and he's returning the favor by dealing with the things I haaaaaate to do, like making phone calls, setting up appointments, dealing with the former housemates when necessary, figuring out how to mount our hanging DVD organizer on the wall, and helping with the haul-and-shove of book unpacking. Also, making appropriately impressed noises when he comes home to discover a clean(ish) house.
So, to-do:
*Sort the papers in the box I just unearthed.
*Open the box under it and figure out what's inside
*Put away box of office miscellanea
*Wash at least 3 bags of clothes and hang them up
* Wash and put away the fine china (upper cabinets should work well for storage)
*Haul the craft supply boxes upstairs and store in the closet
*Haul the games upstairs and store in the closet
* Do a quick 'trash run' and clear surfaces
*Unload and reload dishwasher
* Clear fridge and discard anything that's spoiled (shouldn't be much, except maybe leftovers)
* Make a start on the books
* Store all the empty boxes somewhere so they can go out on recycling day
* Sweep the hardwood to get up the moving/unpacking detritus. (I would do the upstairs too, but we don't have a vacuum right now.)
Yes, this is probably more than I can do in one afternoon. But having it all in one list makes me feel better, and I won't beat myself up for missing a few. I'm doing in in hour-long bursts, timed by episodes of Good Food; when an episode is over, I take a break (which is what I'm doing now)
We still need a DVD and game storage device. Handily, it is Ikea's semi-annual sale, so if we can make it out there this week we can get some appropriate game shelving of some sort. There are a few things I'll need to consult withjmpava on, with regard to whether to keep or discard and where to put them if they're keepers -- and of course I'm going to need his assistance/help with the artwork. And when it's done I want to LibraryThing the rest of my books, and LivingCookbook my pantry. But for now: boxes, clothes, go.

Date: 2008-06-23 08:17 pm (UTC)Light birch or "medium-brown" wood is good, but really I'm happy with anything except white. I'd be looking for one tall and one short (40-ish inches) bookshelf, I think. Obviously only worth it if they're on sale--otherwise I can just pick some up myself when I get there.
