Around mid-morning a light rain began. I checked the front porch and the boxes for Diabetes Canada donation pickup were still there. Since cardboard and water don't mix well, I dug out the small tarp and covered the boxes. As I was making lunch the driver came by and I was able to thank him personally for his work gathering boxes all over the region. By then, the sun was shining brightly. As the day moved forward, clouds gathered. The forecast states that we will get heavier rain overnight and some sun tomorrow.
I spent most of the day in the basement. I got almost all of the storeroom packed into boxes. Just a couple of items remain and they will be packed with some items from the kitchen when the time comes. I moved along to the next room that has been my staging area for packing donations. There are a few items there that needed to be packed for storage at the new place. Most were things from when I cleaned out my mother's apartment. It was difficult to sort through some of this stuff. I did manage to get it into boxes, though tears were present during part of this. That room has three or four more things that need to be packed into a single box -- if possible. That will happen when I work on this project tomorrow. I will also be able to move to the next room which has several items that need to be consolidated into two or three boxes. That will be tackled tomorrow, too.
The mover is coming by on Monday to do an estimate. I have a number of questions for him that I am trying to organize. I will write them down, since this whole packing process makes my mind unable to hold a thought often.
One song came to mind from my views out the windows today -- mix of sun and rain. Keep safe. Enjoy!
