On the Packing Front
A relatively slow packing day as I had work to do at my job and also some baking. I have a ton of Bread Flour I need to get through before the move, and only two-ish weeks to do it.
Boxes Packed:
Misc. & Dolls 1 - the 5x5x5 square boxes I ordered arrived so I got to put a few of our figurines and other knickknacks in boxes to fill up the rest of the space in this box. And now it's closed up and ready!
Glue Box - This was part of my traditional art supplies that I kept hidden in its own cardboard box once I decided I would pick up cardboard art later. I just filled it with a few more packing supplies and taped it up so that's done and accounted for easily.
Books 5 - Had some of my Studio Ghibli art books, a manga art book, and a book on strategies to get past procrastination that I read once and felt like I didn't need much more. I'm keeping the book around, but I do feel like I outgrew it by now.
Boyfriend Special Mention - He packed a ton of DVDs today!! Made real progress on those cases. And also took care of so much of the glass packing the other day. Teamwork feels nice.
Baking
I started on the oatmeal bread today. I don't think I kneaded it enough, but I don't have the stamina to last 10 minutes of kneading sticky dough. I only made it to around 7 minutes. Next time I'll pull out my stand mixer to do the work for me.
It looks and tastes pretty good, though! No complaints. Having this and a standard white loaf to rotate through would be pretty great, I think.
Chess
Didn't have much brain power for a game tonight, so I settled for a few lessons in the Learning section. I gotta say, Lichess is so impressive. And it's FREE! I'm looking forward to spending some time exploring the other game modes.
Thinking About Tomorrow
I think I'll push myself to pack like 5 boxes tomorrow, and then do it early so I can spend the rest of the day doing fun stuff, lol. Just need a small break, I think!
Things On Break:
