Everything looks great and then ...

... fuck. I came home from my final campfire tonight to an unhappy Wife who wouldn't even discuss her cause for unhappiness, only insinuating that I had something to do with it.

Sounds like the straw that broke the camels back, compounded by a stressful situation. Sometimes it catches us by surprise and one little thing sets us off.

Isn't there anyway you can find a little extra time to help pack? Maybe put a box next to your books and put some in each time you go into the room, is one idea.
I certainly hope that things 'mellow' but before the move if possible.
