Stuff

This afternoon Dave and I gathered our plates, bowls, cups, and other kitchenware to give to one of my coworker's family members who lost everything in an apartment fire.  I think that people forget about apartment insurance thinking that because they live in such a big place or get confused thinking that it's the landlord or the apartment complex's responsibility if something happens.  Thinking about it, it obviously seems silly that they'd be responsible for your stuff in an accidental fire but that's the thing few people actually think about it.  Anyway, since Dave and I were planning on donating what we have when the things from our registry come in helping these people replace what they lost seems like the perfect obligation.

Purging our stuff felt good and it's motivating me to attempt to tackle our apartment again.  This place is a complete disgusting pit.  I absolutely hate it.   This evening Dave and I had the battle of the bugs.  I think we won but it's got me feeling super icky and gross.  Something tells me that the fact that our apartment is a mess isn't promoting bugs but still... dirty and bugs go hand in hand with me so I feel like I need to clean like crazy.  There also the inevitable move pending just after the wedding and honeymoon.  We will have approximately two weeks to find a place, pack up our stuff, and move it to the new place.  It's not a lot of time.  How nice would it be for us to not have to worry about it while we are on our honeymoon?  It's hard enough coming back to work and home life without the added stress of moving all our crap.  With everyone looking to rent these days, it seems impossible to find a place with anything available until a month (maybe two) ahead.  I'm hoping to find something by September.

Alright my head is pounding.  The switch in allergy medicines has its side effects.
