Hard work on Labor day

Today, I cried some, but not as much as yesterday.

I did a couple of errands this morning, and got the smallest bird cage possible for a cockatiel to fit into.

It's going to be a very crowded truck cab for 2 days, I can tell you that!!

Brought the cage home, and got Nichi to go into it. He didn't seem overly uncomfortable, so that was good.

Then, I started packing. I went to my storage locker down the hall, and pulled out the rest of the boxes that have been stored in there for over a year.

Two of the boxes are really big wardrobe boxes, so I focused on my bedroom closet.

I got all of my costuming and dance wear packed, and most of my shoes and boots, and about half of my clothes, and all of my purses.

I'm a girl. I like purses and shoes.
Not as much as SOME girls do, but I DO have a few of each.

Then, I attacked the shelves.

I knew my friends F (of dance fame) and M were coming today to take away the armoire-type cabinet that I gave to them, so I also offered my dance camp bedding supplies to F as well.

I am moving during dance camp this year, so won't be able to go one last time.

Even if F doesn't use the bedding on her bunk, the girls can make up the other bunk in the room at dance camp in my Moroccan red sheets, and pretend that I'm just out of the room.

M also gladly took the sword that K left behind when he left, in a hissy, a few years ago. I needed to get that thing the hell out of here, too---one way or another!!

I hesitated to put it out on freecycle! "Offered: heavy, double handed sword left behind by ex room mate!"

SO, now that the cabinet, the camp bedding, and the sword are gone, and the bedroom walk in closet is 75% packed, I feel that I can rest for the remainder of the holiday.

It's almost 4 pm, and I am EXHAUSTED, but am considering going out for a walk. I have not gotten any good movement type of exercise since dancing on Saturday.

The fresh air would also do me good.
