D headed out early Friday morning on a plane to Wisconsin to attend a friend's wedding. So it was just me and Leroy for the weekend. The major activity of the weekend was packing boxes. Lots and lots of boxes. Thanks to my parents and the recent library book sale that they presided over, we have (well, had, now) tons of boxes, so that has definitely been a lifesaver. When we moved here from Laramie, we got rid of all our boxes since there was literally nowhere to store them. (When we moved from the Midwest to Laramie, we saved all of our boxes, since we had a large basement and attic to use for storage...that made packing for our move to Philly slightly easier.)
Even though the apartment is in a shambles from all this packing business, I still have one vase yet to pack -- so when I picked up a few essentials at the grocery store, I made sure to grab a bright bouquet of flowers, too. Even though this place might look horrible, the flowers make me smile.
Sunday was spent packing more boxes and running errands. In the morning I took Leroy for a walk and he got some prime dog park time. After spending a good portion of the time sniffing the periphery of the park, he found a viszla to play with. They chased each other around the park and then spend a good amount of time playing together. Pretty cute stuff.
In the afternoon I went to my fourth of five classes at Lithe Method. I'll have to remember to post about this Philly-born fitness sensation. Good stuff! After class I hobbled my way home (oh, the calf workout!) and, what do you know, packed a few more boxes! The afternoon ended with a quick jaunt to the shops (might as well get in all my convenient shopping while I can...) and I hit up a nail salon to get a little mani/pedi. Apparently my toes are a little worse for wear after my half-marathon a few weeks ago. Given my sore toenails immediately after the run, I wasn't too surprised. But still, yikes!
Since D wasn't set to arrive back until late Sunday night, and most of our pantry stuff is packed away, I decided to order in for dinner. I've been craving a little veggie sushi of late, so opted to order delivery from Sumo Sushi. I can never decided what to get when it comes to sushi, so I opted for a variety of things. (Not pictured are my miso soup and edamame appetizers.) I figure it'll make good leftovers for lunch tomorrow! The delivery arrived quite quickly and the food was delish. As usual, I put way too much wasabi in my soy sauce. Nothing like clearing out the ol' sinuses!
And there you have it, my weekend at a glance. I think I have nearly obliterated our box cache, so looks like tomorrow we'll need to make a Lowe's or Home Depot run to pick up a few more. But, on the positive side, there aren't that many things that haven't been packed up at this point. The main things to do are our closets, but we'll probably do that right before the movers arrive, since the wardrobe boxes are ginormous and this place is getting overrun by boxes as it is.
