"...good luck movin up 'cause I-yyyyy-'m MOVIN OUT! "

I am leaving.

I am leaving for the summer, effective this weekend. After that, it is on to points unknown.

I still don't have anything lined up for September.

My cousin's kids are visiting our house this week. My sister's bedroom sleeps two. There are three of them. My mother suggested I simply clear a path to the bed in my room.

Let's picture that.

"Welcome to New Hampshire kids! After you long drive up from Kentucky by way of Vermont, one of you gets to sleep in this dusty hoarder's cave. Who wants to call dibs?"

I took it as an opportunity to finally clear out of my brother's room. Thus, now giving my parents two functioning guest rooms. The room is now essentially the way I found it two years ago when I moved back home.

And where, you may ask, will I be sleeping this week? This may not be an option....

I know. It looks as bad now as it did in October when this whole thing started. But consider, I have now condensed 20 years of childhood memories and an apartment's worth of stuff first into 3 rooms, and now down into one. I am getting there.  Whether or not I'll be around next fall for progress to continue is yet to be seen.
