Once, when I was searching, somewhere out of reach, far away, in a place I could not find...
The Moving Checklist has many things checked off now. I just need to start on the kitchen, and maybe some winter clothes (who needs them in 80° weather?). The entire back wall of my front room is filled with boxes and 30 grocery sacks worth of books (I have like 275 books). I still have a lot to do... so I think I'll keep updating.
So far my wonderful moving helpers include parents, Mike, Eric, Shawn (a tech from work), maybe Milo/Grant, and Robert and Gretchen later in the day. Anyone else want to help? Free food! Lightweight boxes (mostly). Heavy furniture! Oh wait, ignore that last one.
Moving Countdown: 5 Days
As much as I love LJ to keep in contact with people, I forget how it can sometimes be a double-edged sword. Someone posted something today which really hurt me. It wasn't even about me, in fact the poster probably wasn't thinking of me at all, since I don't think they often do. Wait, that's not fair of me, either. We talk, a fair bit, actually, but this poster clearly had no idea that what was said hits me in a very sore spot. I wish I hadn't read it... but I did, and now I have to deal with it. Interestingly enough, now is when I wish I had my piano, to "play this out" with something appropriate like the Moonlight Sonata. Instead, I shall start throwing my Pyrex dishes into boxes.
In happier news, I saw one of the guys in my current building today on my way in the door, and we've talked a couple of times (he knows my name... I forgot his). And he managed to tell me in conversation today that he manages two "adult entertainment" stores in White Center. I couldn't get into my apartment fast enough to start laughing!!! Wow. How much sketchier can you get?!
