That sucked. The original deal ("I'll have it cleaned out for you in two weeks") didn't happen, and the renegotiated deal ("If it's not cleaned out by TODAY then you can come do it yourself") ran into some problems.

I'll spare you the completely insane details for now, and say only that I spent 5 hours cutting large cardboard boxes into managable-sized flat pieces and didn't even fully clear out one room. On the plus side, I did get to set some things on fire.

The plan for tomorrow: break old ragged-out furniture. Haul furniture bits, old clothes, and anything else that gets in my way, to the dumpster.

Plan for Tuesday: stay home, clean, and put things in boxes. Cancel mobile service, deposit some checks, shunt DSL to new phone number. Have dinner with Amy. And if Amy cancels, I do believe I'll cry.

No plan past Tuesday.
