the almost-last box - 06:50 PM
(filed under 'bahrain')
as i've been wandering around the house today doing what i usually do (which is mostly keeping tabs on smiley), i've been thinking of what remains to be packed aside from the things which i can't pack until the last day (such as computer, towels, pillow, cleaning stuff, etc).
.. & i've come to the conclusion that it might be time for the box full of totally unrelated items & other things which i've forgotten about or accidentally left out of the box of similar things. most boxes have things in them which can be summed up in a few words, like "toys & vaccuum cleaner" or "framed pictures & blankets" (the blankets to help cushion the frames, of course).
this almost-last box, however, will have things like a pair of cross trainers, a few books, the carpet sweeper & my cow mug. those are only a few things i can recall off the top of my head.
as i've been packing, i've been keeping a fairly comprehensive list of the items in each box to assist with locating said items at a later stage when i desperately need just one thing from a box but would be forced to open every single box & rummage through the contents if i hadn't made a very good list .. but with this box i'll be making sure i list every single thing. at least when a box contains only one or two types of items, or perhaps items from one room in the house, you can vaguely guess as to which box you'll need to look into, but with a haphazard collection of items such as what will be in this almost-last box, it's going to be a big mish-mash of things from everywhere & anywhere.
