Checking My Lists
There seems to be an endless amount of stuff to do around here. Do you detect that tiny twitch in my eye, the slightly higher-than-normal pitch of my voice? Just a wee bit of panic here, lads and lassies. So, naturally, this is also the time when other troubles start. -sigh- The transmission- ARGH. Yes, the one we just had rebuilt-- it's whining! The nerve! And whining is contagious-- see? It whines, I whine. It is under warranty, so it won't be money out of our pocket, but it just comes at a BAD time. I do not want to have to be worrying with this right now! I guess better now than on the road when we're moving, though. Honestly, they better fix it right this time.
Anyway, besides that, packing is going well- but a bit daunting. Six people can accumulate a bunch of junk, I tell ya. I'm throwing it out left and right. It's actually pretty liberating. I mean, who needs a couch? Beds? Chairs? Clothes? Time to let it all go, my friends. Sleeping bags and milk crates in the nude will do just fine. (I may be getting a bit carried away with the whole "purge thy possessions" thing. Or possibly, it's the delirium kicking in.)
Christmas shopping, mostly done. I am waiting on a few things I ordered online, so that'll be it. I can't complain about the shopping though-- I've had so much fun spending money! I could seriously get used to that! Ha! Not that I've gone crazy-- but when you're basically just used to paying the bills and buying groceries, then it makes the Christmas shopping a real treat. Like, how cocaine is a treat.
Trying to get planned and organized for our last week here-- we have a lot of social activities next week on top of finishing up the packing. I really don't want to spend our final days here stressed out- that's no way to say goodbye. So I'm doing as much as possible now.
Well, I'm wiped. I gotta hit the hay. (Literally-- I gave away the mattress.) Night, y'all.

It's amazing the things that lose their value once you consider dragging them across state lines. I lost a lot of stuffed animals that way, and I don't regret it a bit. :)

Feels good, but addictive, and not good FOR you.
It was funny when I thought it. Maybe not so much now, eh?

"Like, how cocaine is a treat." FUNNY! I bet your mom loved that! ;-)

It's a joke, little siblings. I was comically emphasizing the similarities between shopping and drugs. Both can be addictive, and not good for ya, but bring pleasurable sensations.
I am not hitting the pipe over here, if that's what your worrying about.
