Meanwhile, back on the home front.....

Today I cleaned up and sorted the area around the downstairs bathroom. I split up the items into three piles/totes: Likely to use, Not likely to use, and Don't/Won't use.

Most of the stuff that R left behind in the vanity drawers and cabinet were put in the Don't/Won't use. I separated out the hair thingies and jewelry, since I thought she might still want them. I also cleaned up the counter, which desperately needed cleaning.

Some of the items in the Likely to use pile were boxed and labeled for eventual moving.
The next step is to to do the same to the upstairs bathroom.

A question for those of you who used professional movers: Do they expect everything to be boxed up when they get there? Or is that something they'll do for a price?

While there are some movers who will box and prep things, they tend to cost too much on an hourly basis for anything other than extraordinary items (antiques or exceptionally large/fragile items that you can't pack adequately yourself). I'd recommend doing as much as you humanly can, unless money is a lesser consideration than time and energy.
