I moved at the beginning of February, and still am not 100% sorted out. The hold up has been my lack of stamina and pain. I'm usually wiped out after work, so the only days I can really do anything is on the weekend, and by the time I do errands and cleaning, I have nothing left to do unpacking. Also, since I had that bed bug thing in the other apartment, nothing is being unpacked without my steaming it with my garment steamer first! So unpacking is time consuming
I'm on vacation and planned on using this 2 weeks to allow myself to get more, if not completely organized.
So far I've cleaned out 2 storage lockers (I paid someone to do the heavy work);
I've unpacked my last linen closet box and reorganized the closet;
I've done a load of whites and have just now put some packed clothing into the dryer to freshen them up and make sure there are not bugs;
Once that is done I'm going to do the same for my coats that are in another box.
That will leave me having to move 6 boxes or so away from the wall in the spare room, vacuum where the boxes are and steam the rug. Then move my bookshelf into there and unpack the boxes. Then vacuum and steam the main area of the rug.
I also want to move my bed and vacuum and steam the carpet under and around it.... just in case.
And then I'm done!!!
The last thing will be taking all of my collapsed boxes down to the storage locker and bringing up my christmas ornaments. I plan on buying a small tree this year and putting it up.
