Do I have enough boxes?

This is starting to be a big concern of mine. The move date is less then a week away since we are doing the drive in two parts and we are still no where near finished packing. I picked up more boxes from work yesterdy but I honestly don't even know if we have enough. I need to back up last week was insane box week at work there was an over flow of the cardboard room so on sunday I went and picked out about 30 or so boxes put them aside with a huge note on them saying please save for me I will pick up tomorrow. I get to work on monday and guess what the cardboard guy has come and gone and so are all my hand picked boxes. SO why didn't I take them home sunday, well importantly how do you walk home with that many boxes? I had a ride home on monday sp hence why I was waiting till monday to bring them home. So instead I had to wait until yesterday which was my last day, to get some where there weren't nearly as many boxes to choose from, so here is hoping i have enough other wise I will be panicking.
So let's see what did I accomplish today on my first day of freedom from work? The car is gone, insurance is cancled, plates have been turned in, change of address has been put in to take effect next thursday. Another box of clothes was packed but that is about it. I finished my last computer repair here thankfully I honestly need all my time to get everythign else packed right now. I also manged all of this on like two hours of sleep. Oh I didn't mention that my cable and internet company fucked up and dissconected us yesterday instead of next thursday so that was a few hairy phone calls. No tv or internet for a week eeek that would not have been good. At least that is sorted out now and as you can see i am online again. The cable was also turned back on in time for Grey's tonight and that was important.
So tomorrow its more packing and hoping that I have enough boxes who would have though I had so much to pack.

  1. Have you tried checking in the produce department at the grocery store? I used Loblaws/Zehra a lot for boxes. Apple and orange ones are the best for heavy stuff because they're so sturdy and sometimes you get the little foam thingys they place between the layers of oranges in the box too. I wrapped up wine glasses and little breakables in those. Then the added bonus is being able to drop the used boxes back at the grocery store after your move. I just brought a cart full every week on grocery day and it only took a few trips to get rid of all the boxes. Good luck with the move if you're not on until then! Wave as you drive through Kitchener! :)

  2. We will defiantly wave on our way threw, our local grocery store is No Frills and they hardly ever have boxes. I will be hitting up the lcbo if we need more after I finish these boxes.
