For some reason I feel unproductive. Which isn't true. I think because I didn't get home until after 8:30 and didn't get anymore packing done.
What I did today (mostly at work) was:
Call and make arrangements for the cable to be turned on
Call back and make arrangements for the internet (I was debating about dsl)
call and make arrangements to get the phone switched over (there's a $50 transfer fee to keep my number -- bastards!)
Go pick up my checks and pay my deposit for utilities. I owed money from when I moved out before -- plus I had to pay a larger deposit because I have an electric stove and gas water heater. all told it was $400.
Call and make arrangements for the carpet cleaner.
After work I:
Went to Joanne fabrics and bought mod podge for my suitcase table, two foam pads for the vanity stool, a dragonfly stamp, 2 things of paint, and 2 flower pots that were on sale and I totally didn't need. But three bucks!
Went over to Mom's
Went over to my place (!!!) and we took out nails, spackled, and determined that the ceilings need to be painted as well. And the previous paint job sucked. They used flat paint and didn't do enough coats so we could see some of the old paint through. And they painted the windows shut so I'm going to have to unstick those.
Also: watered flowers, got rid of cobwebs, discovered signs of rats, and swept off the steps. The rats are in the laundry/utility room -- Grandma stored dog food and bird seed there. I don't think I'll be doing that. Ick rats.
Then we had Chinese and I came home and chatted some and read some fic.
I still have to:
finish packing
finish painting furniture
go buy paint
paint
call my land lady about the storm door being jammed, and the gutters that need cleaning, the patch of ceiling in the kitchen where there might be a leak and something else. I forgot.
I got measurements of the rooms. Living/dining room is 15' feet wide (at the widest part), 21' feet long; the bedroom is 21' long and 13' wide. The closet is 5' long and 7'wide.
Now it's off to bed.
