Our Furniture is Gone!

No, it hasn't been stolen! We sold it!
Most of our furniture has left the building as of Saturday. Alex came to take everything that belonged to him, I sold a few things, we all trashed a few things, we gave some away, and I hope to sell the bed soon. The apartment looks so much bigger when it's not filled with random inefficient shelves and ugly tables. The rest of our things are slowly being condensed into essential, managable parcels.
Someone FINALLY took the futon today. It was such a piece of junk, we actually debated PAYING someone to come take.
Zero planning has been done for the actual roadtrip so far. I think the decision is "We're going to wing it." We have our route mostly mapped out (except we may or may not detour through Memphis, TN, rather than Kansas. Although I've been to Graceland, The Boy has not, and Tennessee has to be all-around more interesting that Kansas), and we have AAA books for every single state we're going through along the way, so we'll be fine.
We had our first going away part on Saturday for The Boy's extended group of friends. Wednesday will be Karaoke with MY friends. But Saturday was lots of fun, despite the first place not having AC, the second one being expensive, random tensions among friends, someone throwing a bottle off the roof of a building at a house party, and most everyone drinking more than they should. I was fine, and one of the few who was ready to keep going after we stopped to eat potato pierogies. I was fully awake and un-drunk, but happy to go home.
I'm going to miss that crew, particularly Zad and Oriana. They are definitely not dime-a-dozen type of friends.
