polychrome_penAnd then I'll be on my way to my new place (and job!)
Packing has pretty much been a nightmare. I've been tripping over boxes for days (like OMG, fourteen boxes of books). Packing up my library seriously took forever, because I was also sorting at the same time. My parents offered to let me leave my bookcase here full, so I picked books I wasn't likely to read any time soon (or had already read recently) and filled it up.
Dolls and figures took forever too. I layered the loose ones in plastic totes using towels in between for cushioning. Though with the Pullips and Taeyangs I dug out their original boxes and repackaged them for stability's sake. Boxed dolls were packaged various ways into large cardboard boxes (so glad to find an old giant computer monitor box!) Those were all loaded into my car tonight, since I didn't want them to be in the moving truck with the rest of my stuff. I would be crushed to find them damaged from the heat. Not all the dolls and toys are coming either, but most of them. And Dawn of the Dance Cleo should be arriving at the new place sometime next week. Heh. I needed a trial order.
I'm leaving lots of my DVDs for the time being as well, though I'll reevaluate that once I see everything there. DVDs are easy to transport compared to dolls and books.
You can really tell my priorities by how I handled my clothes, though. I literally just laid them in my trunk! Whereas I spent days carefully packing the other things!
Anyway, I hope the drive goes okay tomorrow.
