38 Days Before Closing (The time that remains before we have to get out of this house)

9 Days Before Closing (The time that remains before we can move into the new house)

So what does a person who has a little over a week before she can start moving do with her time? I did the laundry. I went shopping with my youngest daughter. I arranged for pest control for the new house. I haven't started packing. I played Pogo Fortune Bingo. I wrote all kinds of emails. I placed an ad in the online classifieds for my living room furniture that I need to sell. I played Pogo Mahjong Garden. I cleaned the kitchen...and then I cleaned it again after my son cooked. I cleaned my son's room...again. I didn't pack. I need to pack. But first I think I'll play more Pogo.
