Is there anything left....part 2

[Not Quitting]

H came over tonight to start packing up his stuff. He managed to fill one box tonight, but hasn't even touched his books in the upstairs bookcase, the rest of his clothes or anything else in the bedroom. The only room he tackled was the living room. He's coming over again tomorrow to do some more. He has asked about leaving his tools here for a while longer, and since they are in the back corner of the basement out of sight I don't mind that. He's also agreed to return his keys tomorrow night when he comes over, as long as I give him the duplicate keys to his tool boxes. No problem, agreed.

Once again, the time dragged while he was here and I found myself getting edgy and anxious for him to go. I left him to pack his own stuff, just keeping myself occupied in the same room so I could keep an eye on what's being taken. He got S13 to help him for a little while, until he got bored with packing that is . I can't wait until all his stuff is gone so I can get reorganized. Just looking at the empty bookshelves in the living room I realized that I'm going to have to do some serious dusting first though .

He was going to leave his boxes in the garage until they were all done, then arrange pick-up. He overhead part of a conversation where dad asked if he'd still be able to get the lawnmower out tomorrow as the grass needs cutting and H took it to mean that dad wants the boxes gone right away. Not much I could say - that's what happens when you eavesdrop and only get part of the conversation
