It was a week of back breaking labor and wrangling my mom but we got it done. I am back in Berkeley, CA and my parents are actually moving today. My sister-in-law is supervising this part of the move as I could not take that much time off from work. I think it is going well based on the pictorial updates that I am getting on my iphone. Going well. My parents still have too much stuff but it will all be in their new place and that is that. They are putting a lot of it in the basement and I am hoping over the next few years to go through that with them and get rid of more of that stuff. If they don't use it - it should go. I am inspired to go through my stuff now. I am in a purging mood for sure now. I am going to clean out my apartment though now that I look at my place - I don't have that much stuff.

We worked from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm all week last week. I got my lobster roll and then had lobster tail. And then the most glorious strawberry shortcake at The Chophouse. It was amazing. Never had that good a shortcake. I ate the whole thing. It was amazing. Went to Dunkin Donuts everyday for my large coffee. We ate badly and I have to get back on the nutrition plan. Food was out of control.

Anyhoo. That is the report. It all worked out and my parents are doing well. They are excited about their new place and will be unpacking for a while.

Cheers to you and I cannot believe that summer is ending. I am not ready for September!

Isn't eating bad part of the going away experience? I am tempted to declutter now I have read your post :)

I guess you are right and I did not gain any weight. I am ready to throw everything away here. Get rid of it all!

Eh, despite the hard work it sounds like you had a great time. And I bet that you burned off all those calories, with all the hard work. ;)

I got lots of exercise for sure. I did not think of that! We had good fun and it was good to spend time with family.

I'm not ready for Summer to be over, either. :(

Good to hear your parents are moved, even if they still have lots o stuff.

I know. It seems too fast and the weather was cold here this summer. Not enough beach days for sure.

I am glad they have a safer place to be. I always worried about them falling in their other place. This place is all one level and not many steps. So way better.

sorry I haven't been around. I know how you feel when it comes to cleaning out, got way too much stuff but just can't part with it! I think for me it's cause my dad's still in those memories? I don't know.

I wish it was September too, can't believe summer is almost over, kiddos go back to school 9/4 in Boston. My niece is mad because they get 2 more days off than she does LOL little does the kiddo realize school for yonger kids don't start down there until 9/8.. lol and she's now in high school (2nd year) so she's like not fair, I wanna be a kid again lol.

Glad you're doing all right :) How's Teddy?

I know how you feel. We found lots of old pictures and stuff. We kept all of that stuff.

September is like next week! Too soon! I am not ready!

Teddy is good! He survived all that time without me and did not destroy anything. He is a love.

Summer is over and where did it go? Hoo

I had to help my parents - they are getting on in years so no way they could do it on their own. But it was all good.
