Packing and purging/itching and scratching
This weekend I started the rather painful and frustrating process of packing. Filling up box after box with STUFF and sealing them. Holy crap, the amount of CRAP a person, not to mention three, can gather in a few years. So I'm packing and purging, yesterday I filled at least three boxes with things that are going out, into the junk. Or to the fleamarket. I counted at least twenty boxes of books, and it is probably going to be more. A lot more. I also got an estimate over the transportation costs, -20.000 Nkr!! Yikes!! Not included insurance. So, to avoid having too much when the truck arrives, I am selling some of my stuff, -books, cd's (no, not my rammstein-collection, although I have considered putting some of it out on ebay) videos and dvd's.
Oh I wish I could make a jump in time and land on the "other" side, -all over and done with moving and planning and applying for jobs, and getting loans and so on. Safely there, with all my boxes, but relaxed and ready for a new life. Somehow I just KNOW that everything is going to be fine, but first , -all the doing and frustrating. This is all very exhausting.
Otherwise, it's been sunny and warm and lovely, and I'm itching and scratching as usual after sunbathing. My hair is dark, but my skin is sensitive and rather freckled, and I get sun allergy as soon as I take my clothes off. My upper arms, legs and chest is all covered in blisters. But as I insist on getting a tan (it IS summer after all), I grit my teeth and and stay out as long as I can bear the itching. We have been barbequeing in the garden almost every day the last week. Summer is nice, sun blisters or not.
