unicornduke Yesterday was busy! I wrote a post and then more things happened. I had my dentist appointment at 2:50 (just a cleaning) and I drove to the apartment early to get some stuff picked up and maybe do some cleaning.
Since I had driven through all the snow/salt on Sat and Sun, I decided I would run through the car wash because my truck was absolutely covered in salt. Had to get fuel too. Mistake. There was a line for the car wash and it took probably 20 mins of sitting before I finally got through. I did pay the extra $2 for the undercarriage wash though. Gotta get it clean.
Went to the apartment and loaded my truck up with my spinning wheel and some other things that had been left. Not much. I did end up bringing the final kitchen box back to here with me because I like my pots and pans and C had three very sad ones here. I also loaded up the rest of the things going to storage, with the most annoying one being the desk chair. Briefly considered tossing it (I had picked it up on the side of the road at the beginning of the pandemic) but decided to store it anyway. The point where I move into a house, I probably won't want to buy a new desk chair and it will do.
I also got my seed order from the mailbox. Yay!
As I was loading, I got a call that my dentist appointment was delayed until 3. Okay. No big deal.
I walked Mara and then left her leashed outside while I carried most of the stuff in and out because she was just standing and staring since C had arrived home from the airport. We waved but didn't actually talk.
I did a bunch of organizing this morning and got the printer set up at the table, put away the misc electronics and swept since I accidently dumped some dirt on the floor. Since the printer is now living on the kitchen table, I will use the little square table for fiber stuff. The extra shelf will hold baking stuff. I might even get around to cooking something soon. Am considering making brownies although I don't have eggs because I forgot to check the fridge at the old apartment and I think I left them there....oops.
I'll probably go back again saturday or sunday and actually get everything cleaned and all the extra boxes and cleaning supplies out of the apartment and then I will bring my vacuum here because the vacuum C has here is bad.
We are currently supposed to get 4-10 inches of snow in the next two days. I don't need to go anywhere and could probably borrow eggs from C as long as I give them brownies so that might be my project while we're snowed in.

I went over to the storage unit and I did end up pulling three boxes from storage to come back with me. One had my stand mixer, which I want for baking and the misc baking supplies shoved in with it which should be my hand tools and possibly my thermometer so I can make yogurt. Second box was baking dishes including my cake pans. To be fair, those two boxes were weirdly sized and heavy and therefore weren't in the big stacks so it was easy to get them out. The final box was a fiber box on the top of the outermost pile. I couldn't resist. I want some of my fiber :)
I shoved all the stuff in that needed to go in (two boxes, my sleeping bag, s small shelf, a small side table, misc) and headed over to the dentist. Got a text that it was delayed to 3:10. Sat in the parking lot and stared at my seeds. Appointment ran long but was good, no new cavities yay! I left there at 4:20 and it was an hour drive home, so I got in around dusk. My girl scout cookie shipping experiment was a success and I now have many GF toffee cookies and one box of thin mints in the freezer that I will eat sparingly for the next 6 months.I walked Mara and then left her leashed outside while I carried most of the stuff in and out because she was just standing and staring since C had arrived home from the airport.

Also, yay, working delivery!
Same forecast snow here; hasn't quite started yet, but I can see the sky changing.

Hope you get a decent rain-stops-ground dries-then-freeze-then-snow transition!
Most of the snow's landed here; supposed to be more this afternoon but everyone's already mostly done plowing so it wasn't so bad.
