Still plugging away

I managed to get everything out of the inside of the apartment by 11:58 pm last night. Feeling rather relieved about that. The problem? The stuff I got out has no room to fit inside the new house, so it stayed on the porch and in the vehicle. So that means I have stuff from the strike of the show in my car, and boxes full of junk in the vehicle. I have to unpack more boxes (in the neighborhood of about 20) and get rid of most of the contents, sending them to various locations. I have to do lots of sorting and laundry on the costumes and props from the show. And I have to clear out the jeep so that I can go back to the apartment for one more load, this time the clay flowerpots from the exterior of the apartment.
Oh. And I have to mow my (MY!) yard today too. And do a ghostwalk.
Time to have my coffee and get to it.

Edit: Skipped the coffee and went straight to work loading up the flowerpots from the apartment. Got them in one load and headed on back to My Home. What a relief to have that done, and be completely moved out.

Figured out how to work the lawn mower without amputating anything. Feeling pretty proud about that. Friend Amy has pointed me in the direction of some nice grass that I can plant that will do well in this climate, grows slowly yet still chokes out weeds, and feels thick and soft on bare feet. Next step is to kill off the existing lawn, wait a couple of weeks, and plant new grass. Assuming that it's not too late in the season to plant it. I'm feeling a bit of a pang at the thought of chemicals killing what little grass is there, but hopefully the end result will be a gorgeous lawn that doesn't take much water to thrive, and can be cut with the reel mower that Grant brought me (thanks, Grant!), cutting down on gas usage, noise pollution, and chance of personal dismemberment.

Now I'm off to shower, eat some lunch, and maybe pay some bills.
