Less Productive Day
Yesterday, I found it easier to pack. Mostly because I was tackling the bigger things, and throwing them away or in boxes, but today, I just can’t get as motivated. Thankfully though, I just need to sort through two or three boxes, pack my clothing, and get ready to pack…

Added Stress to Reduce Stress
So, I was doing some calculating and realized that I was going to be short more money than I was hoping, so I took on a relatively quick freelance job to work on a local website. It will mean a few extra dollars in my pocket, making the move more…

Lightening My Load
So today, I am trying to offload, garbage, get rid of, or otherwise lighten my moving load. I’ve been giving things away like they are going out of style. Not only do I feel good that I’m helping people in need, but everything I get rid of also makes me…

Site Launched: Bruce County Public Library

Hanging Out with Jay
One of my co-workers contacted me yesterday, and needed a hand doing some errands because his wife took the car to go stay at her families place for two weeks, leaving him no phone, and only a half working motorcycle. Since my plans were only to pack and clean, I…

Packing Sucks
I move a lot, too much, but one thing that never changes is how much I hate packing. Getting my stuff together and putting it in boxes is an activity that ranks pretty high on my list of things I’d rather do later. Unfortunately, I’m running out of later and…
