Taking a break. I've been religiously waking up at 6 every morning for the last few weeks. If it is hot in the attic, I work until 9 thereabouts without coffee or breakfast. Today it was raining and cool, so worked until 11 before I washed up. I was shredding many years of financial papers and statements and I realized that you can use the shredded papers for packing fragile items. It works quite well. Will find out when we open the stuff in Florida. I've been told to work every day for a set period clearing one area at a time. That seems to work for me. Some people like to spread everything at one time but that could get overwhelming at times. On the move we have decided to leave the stuff in storage here for at least three months minimum. We came to the conclusion that after the move here we want to rest a while at least during the summer before accepting shipments in Florida. Fortunately we have basic furnitures in place so we don't need them immediately. Keeping them in storage is not cheap especially the climate controlled one but it is a trade off with sanity. I asked the mover to split the cost so I know what actual trucking to Florida is then the cost of packing all items and finally the storage cost for three months.
