Moving day is rapidly approaching. I now think about its arrival in terms of days, not months anymore, and not weeks. (Hey, if people can say their infant's age is fourteen weeks, I can say moving day is in 19 days.)
(Aaaaaa-eeeeeeee!!!!!!1)
So where should the prep for the move be now, developmentally speaking? I'm packing things, but the criteria at this point is, will I need this in the next 19 days? Will I EVER need this? DID I ever need it?? (. . . in a maddening cycle of angst-driven calculations and contemplations.) This is made slightly more complicated by the fact that it's a cross-country move, so some of the things I will need soon include things needed for a four-day road trip (conservatively figuring) and an unknown number of days living in a motel if the movers don't get there until later. i.e. I will definitely need to shave before we unpack in our new place, maybe more than once, and of course floss. Luckily the floss is in a little plastic dispenser that is easily transported.
OK, hyper-focusing is a hazard, at this point.
I now notice or wonder if some of the things I do or see here in the coming days will be last time I do so.
It's Sunday. Nothing to do but pack some more. It's the little things that drive you nuts--the drawer with 87 things in it, and they are all very important.
I have finally switched browsers because the other one banned so many cookies I couldn't comment. Took me almost a month to realize that, apparently.
ReplyDeleteSo, how did the move go? All settled?
I swear the Internet is getting more and more difficult to deal with. I can only manage to comment on a small percentage of Wordpress sites. Like you, I've found that trying other browsers solves some problems. Anyway, yes, the movers got here yesterday and we spent our first night in the new place. I can't say we're "settled," but we're getting there. There seems to be more stuff than there are places to put it.
ReplyDeleteI still have boxes from my last move unopened. I think I know what I'll be doing on the upcoming 40th anniversary of moving in here. 😂
