Crap
Friday, August 17, 2007 at 05:52AM
The crap! It never ends! No matter how many boxes I pack or how much stuff I bring to Goodwill or how many bags of trash I throw away, the crap keeps appearing. Our apartment is pretty small so I don't know where it was all hiding for the last year. When we first started planning this move, we considered renting a U-Haul. The website suggested one of the smaller 10-foot trucks for one-bedroom apartments, but I'm pretty sure if we had tried to move all our furniture, boxes and other crap at the same time, we would have needed the 26-foot Super Mover.
I go home everyday and try to pack or clean something, but I can never seem to dig out of the junkyard that our apartment has become. Our new place has 500 more square feet, another bedroom and bathroom, and a laundry room. We are never leaving that place. Even when we have kids and money. Even if we get offered amazing jobs across the country. I'm staying there forever because I don't want to deal with all this crap again.
But really, I shouldn't complain too much. I'm stressed about moving, stressed about starting classes, stressed about leaving this job, stressed about finding another one. But more than anything I'm so fucking excited! I love change and I love new adventures. I get bored and restless so easily, so when I'm in transition like this, I feel really good. Yeah it's stressful and a little scary, but my god I'm moving! I'm doing exactly what I decided I wanted to do. It's happening. Soon enough I'll be bored in my new apartment, bored at my new job (please God help me get a job), sick of grad school and annoyed with my family. But right now, today, all those things are still new and exciting.
I'm so frickin' happy about it all that I don't even care how much crap I have left to dig through tonight.

I feel for you with the stress of moving. Every time I move I swear it's the last time. May you have an easy time of it and quickly forget all the stresses, aches and pains.
And unpacking the crap is just as much fun! LOL Trust me.
