The last of my UPS boxes finally arrived today (after getting separated and misdirected from the others). Of course this was the box with my Swifter and dust pan/brush and other assorted cleaning supplies. Before I start unpacking any of the other boxes, my apartment needs to be thoroughly cleaned.

I’m glad I was as anal as I was preparing the boxes (taping every possible seam and corner of every single box). By the time they all arrived, they looked like they had flown to China and back — they was bowed, smashed up, and covered in grime. Thankfully nothing seems to have broken en route, but these boxes will never be usable again (which horrifies a packrat like me).
