Last Days and Long Trips

Today was my last day; I've had plenty of them. In an attempt to not answer the same questions more than I already have, I'll sum up:
  • I'm moving to the Boston area.
  • That's about 400 miles from here (Baltimore area).
  • I know it's cold there; I grew up where we put spiggots in the trees (bonus: the correct term is spile)
  • I'm driving up there on Sunday to look for an apartment then driving back here on Tuesday, weather permitting.
  • I'm in town for a couple days, then driving to Michigan for Christmas.
  • I'm driving back here before New Year's to pack and clean.
  • Movers come to pack dishware and CRTs on the 30th.
  • Movers come for my junk on the 31st.
  • I'm here in town sans stuff for a few more days till I can take possession of whatever apartment I find reasonable, then I'm heading back to Boston on as permanent a basis as anywhere I've lived.

    Seriously, I've answered those questions at least a dozen times just today.

    I figure I've got about three days of solid packing and two days of good cleaning before I'm done. Given that I'm lazy and likely to be inebriated during my time in town, I figure a week should be good for the packing plus a few days for the cleaning.

    My connectivity and sane-time will be at a premium this holiday, so in case I don't get a chance to say it at a more appropriate time, happy holidays to all.

    Bonus Edit!
    I've added an articles section for those who just want to see the tech stuff and not details from my boring life.
