Fifteen Days: Breathe, breathe, breathe

Even more boring than painting posts: to-do list posts! I've decided to be kind to you and italicize the new stuff.

1. Address changes for license and health card.
2. Mail forwarding
3. New email address
4. Painting! (Getting closer. I have to do the trim/doors/windows, and decide on the kitchen. But it will be finished one way or the other this weekend, as Erik and Frances are going out of town and I am taking advantage.)
5. Packing.
6. Moving
7. Unpacking
8. Address change for subscriptions
9. Pay library fines and close current account.
10. Get a new library card
11. Refinish furniture--two nighttables, a desk and a bookcase
12. Purchase Frances's bed and dresser Her bed is showing up on Tuesday, apparently.
13. Purchase sofa or loveseat or something to sit on in the living room.
14. Buy a camera
15. Transfer over files from desktop, which Erik is keeping
16. Destroy the desktop versions
17. Put desktop software on laptop
18. Move iTunes to laptop, hopefully without destroying iPod
19. Purchase mattress and bedding for Frances.
20. Paint flowers on wall in Frances's room. (But I did find some flowers I can use as templates, so that's progress)
21. Sign separation agreement. (Draft is almost done! Need to harass lawyer)
22. Arrange for transfer of pension funds.
23. Close on house.*
24. Split up money.*
25. Buy plates, pots and cutlery. (Pots and cutlery I'm getting from Loblaws on points. Got to love PC points.)
26. Furniture assembly (Also on the list for this weekend. I've assembled the loveseat and Frances's bookcase headboard; left is the bed, her dresser, and a bookcase for the living room.)
27. Buy new tires for bike, so I can ride it to work.
28. Make/find curtains or blinds (But I still want to find a black-out roller blind for my bedroom and add some appliqués or rickrack to the plain white curtains.)
29. Move prescriptions, change address with insulin pump company
30. I suppose if I'm going to pack, I should probably scavenge some boxes or something. (I got boxes. But I need a lot more.)
31. Kim's birthday party. And present. And card. (I had to bail. Blah.)
32. Rent a truck.
33. Arrange for address change at work.
34. Sleep, work, eat, play with Frances, buy groceries, do laundry, etc.
35. Tell Revenue Canada I'm separated.
36. Hang blinds and curtains.

I'm up to eight off the list. And hoping to scratch off a lot more over the weekend when Erik takes Frances to visit his family for a few days.

Maybe if I just stop sleeping....
