Procrastipacking, ha! Love it. This is the hardest move in my life as it's the first time I've had my own furniture and accumulated so much Stuff. And I'm downsizing. Still, at least with books they all fit on the one bookshelf I have so it's easy to pack and unpack.

Definitely using a staged approach to the pantry/kitchen items. I'll be trying to cook my way through some of them so a lot will only be packed the day the fridge is unplugged - 24hrs before I get it moved. Right now the main task is culling. And packing other easy things (books, winter clothes). Lots of clothes to cull, too...

The other task I'm loathing doing is listing larger stuff on Facebook marketplace... especially the fold out couch that was a bitch to move up here when the downstairs neighbour gave it to me. Better to do it sooner rather than later though, with the stuff I know I don't need.
