helping hands
first of all - thank you guys for offering your help. which is easy for you to do considering the ocean there is between you and my apartments to paint.. ;o)
no seriously, i really appreciate it.

last night i went to the store and got regular white paint, special paint for bathroom and kitchen as well as all the other stuff you need. like crepe-tape, brushes, tarp and all.. then i started to pack up my bedroom. dude, i already packed like four boxes and that's not even the whole bedroom. i have 15 boxes for the whole place *sweating*.
i mean i only have two rooms. i can't believe how much crap i seem to have "collected" during the last four years... and i'm really good about sorting out and throwing away. that's only the stuff i really need. jeeesh. what a fun, fun time.. and of course i'm not "allowed" to call C 'cause he wants me to wait until he calls me - whenever that may be.. but that's a whole different, much debated and whined about story which is driving me nuts anyway. meaning - i'll stop about that right here!

so - we're gonna start painting tonight after work. and tomorrow night and friday night (if we have to). then i have saturday to pack. i'm kinda hoping to be able to start moving some smaller stuff on saturday already, if i'm done painting. the real move on sunday and then i'm gonna have to paint the old place monday, tuesday, wednesday after work *ahhrg*. i'm gonna be SO DONE painting anything after that.. probably even higlighting text at work.. i'm really not a big painting-fan as is it and after this marathon to come *sighs*. but luckily i do have friends helping me. with like a day notice, after work and on the weekend. which is great and i'm really thankful for that. and then again - i can't remember how many apartments i helped to paint and how many furniture and boxes i moved in the last five years with all my friends moving.. "all for one and one for all". the bremen musketeers. i'm being silly now, so i'm outta here. lots to do, you know ;o)
