I can see the finish

Man this move is working me. I know that I planned ahead, started packing the day I gave notice.  And while that drove my complete narcissist of a housemate nuts (someone needs to remind me why I chose to move into a new place with him), I am 2 days out, 99% packed and done

It’s the stuff that I use all the time, bathroom stuff, bedroom stuff, you know, stuff. My friend Josie makes me laugh, we Vox one another every day or so.  I had some pretty gnarly oral surgery (if anyone tells you that implants are a one day procedure, they are lying, or a crook. This side of my mouth, two implants, 1 crown, 5 years later…) on Thursday and did a LOT of moving over the weekend.  Jos said, moving is hard enough, emotional etc. without the added pressure of dealing with mouth issues.  What, were you feeling like you were being an underachiever or something?

I’ve done many runs over to the new place, up the 28 steps from the carpark to the condo and have unpacked most of the kitchen.  I think that once the furniture is moved in on Saturday, the animals get over to the house from Mar’s (conveniently in the same complex) and I get the cleaners squared away on Sunday and meet with the dragon lady landlord on Sunday, I will be able to get the lay of the land, unpack and get things squared away. It’s not like I have a big party and I have people over or anything.  But I know myself and if I am standing still, I am going to be either packing (or unpacking)

It’s not like after Saturday I won’t have access or can’t pack up the stuff that I don’t want flung on the movers truck.  I am just the logistics person, you know, it’s my job to make sure things roll smoothly.  Once the movers leave the house, I will swoop up as much as I can and pack my car up and drive down.  I have Mar and Glenn over there directing traffic, and they can run the show while I hump stuff up the stairs

Martine hired his own movers, that should have told me yet again what an epically bad decision it was to move into a new place with him.  He’s seriously an object of my practice
