Apr 1, 2007 7:49am: Well, as the serenity prayer says, "God grant me the wisdom to accept the things I cannot change...." And I have had to accept that I'm just not going to get everything moved today. Despite hours and hours of packing, there is still about 5% of my belongings scattered about the house, and about 50% of my partner's. This next week will have to be many smaller trips with the pick-up, but at least all the furniture will go today. What IS all this crap? I didn't realize how much built-in storage I had at my current house, and now I have to find a place for it all. Add to that, that the garage in the new place is still being sheetrocked and painted, and we just have no place to put all our stuff. I've been running on caffeine for a couple of days now, and I feel that hyper-caffeinated exhaustion that usually precedes getting sick. I would like to just recline in the divan with a case of the vapors and just have the movers pack the rest of everything, but it's just too expensive. Rant, rant, rant, panic, panic, panic. Accept the things I cannot change.... Aahh.

Mar 31, 2007 11:05am: Is there anything worse than moving? You just don't realize how much stuff you've accumulated until you have to wrap it all in bubble wrap. How did I get here? I recycle, drop off at the Goodwill regularly, etc. yet I arrived in California 13 years ago with what I could fit in my Honda station wagon and carry on the plane. Now the movers estimate it will take 10 hours to move me 8 miles away. All I want to do is play on the computer or read a good novel, but NOOOOOO, it's more boxes for me.
