Moving
sucks. Going to a new place is nice. New adventures. Adding
friends to your life. New possibilities. Starting fresh. LIVING
somewhere new is nice. MOVING sucks.
I'm not taking ANY furniture. I'm not taking my new microwave
or new toaster. I'm not bringing any kitchen stuff at all.
I gave away two garbage bags of clothes to Red Cross. I threw
out countless belongings. STILL, I have so much shit. I made
a moving/spending budget for settling into a new apartment
based off the money I currently have, and the very horrible
truth is all my rounding up on expenses and rounding down
on my earnings was supposed to make things better for me so
in the end, I would have more than I expected. Turns out,
I keep having less and less.
UPS was literally laughing at my packing work. They are pretty
sure all my shit will break before it gets to LA. They think
there is a 50/50 chance. Katie swears UPS is just anal and
a little ridiculous on their packing jobs. At this point,
I'm incapable of caring. I'll just save my anger and frustration
for when the boxes arrive and they actually do show up in
shreds. Nightmare.
So, I'm totally confused. I have no idea what the hell is
going on, what I actually own, what there is left to do...I
am completely out of it. I need a wee glass of wine.
Okay, so I'm sorry that this will have to be last entry for
a while. I'm leaving in my mind two weeks before my computer
arrives and is set up, and then another month before it works
properly, even WITH UPS anal packaging. I have no idea what
lies ahead of me, and I know that there will be a time in
my life when I'll be jealous of the position I am in right
now. So, let's try to enjoy this, shall we?
See you when I'm a west-coaster. Weird. |
