a post that could have been a list
Sunday, Sunday. I’ve been to church and sung two services, I’ve cleaned the kitchen, I’ve done some organizing and moving of closet-type items, and I’ve filled the wardrobe box with our suits and winter coats—the things that shouldn’t be folded into suitcases or boxes.
Otherwise, it’s been a quiet day. I wanted to do laundry but don’t have any quarters. Sunday is the worst day to do laundry here, anyway. It might be better for Mr. Angst to do it during the week when no one else is using the machines.
Still left to do this evening: write out our notice for our storage unit, figure out some sort of dinner-type meal, and bring inside the books and other things I removed from my office on Friday. Also, I need to hang up some clothes (just those I need for the week) and figure out a definitive menu for our going away party, which is in one week. Gah! Brisket is definitely getting made, but what else do I need to put together?

I cannot believe that you’re throwing a going-party! I am all awe that you can manage packing and moving and hosting a party all at once.
I hope it all goes smoothly for you. I’m clueless on what you could serve, although fruit in the summer always seems a good idea.
Well, to be fair, it’s not at our apartment. A friend of mine has graciously offered her home (and pool) and I am very lucky. I am still doing food and decorations (though decorations may not get done….not a big deal).
Really, “going-away party” sounds very planned and this is, well, planned, but not big. It’s just a barbeque, a drop-in-and-say-goodbye affair. Oof. Now I’m getting a little misty about saying all those goodbyes.
