Well, when I got back from Russia, I realized that I didn’t exactly have as much of my stuff packed up as I originally led myself (and everyone else) to believe. After my big “Moving Weekend” I had convinced myself that all that was left was a tv, a mattress, and some clothes. WRONG! SO SO SO SO WRONG!! Try: the couch I wanted to get rid of, all my bathroom stuff, all my kitchen stuff, a coffee table, the cushions to my couch, a nightstand, a tv, a tv stand, everything that’s in my hallway closets (which randomly includes my saddle), minimally 2 boxes and 2 suit cases of clothes, my golf clubs, etc. etc.
Needless to say I was in a little bit of a state of shock. Instead of just putting my mind to getting it done, I did everything in my power to procrastinate, meanwhile I worrying about it all week. My face broke out, my sleep was interrupted countless nights by waking up in a panicked sweat, and I couldn’t concentrate at work. Finally on Thursday night I put my mind to actually doing something about it. I took the morning off work Friday to focus on packing, and now I’d say I’m down to maybe 3 hours worth of work..
Since I cant trust myself or my judgment of how much work is to be done, I had to make a promise to myself: no booze until the apartment is COMPLETELY empty. My heart broke into a million pieces when I had to turn down an invitation for happy hour at a dive bar tonight... but a promise is a promise.
Anyways, I guess tonight I am going to get most of it done, finish up tomorrow, and then enjoy the rest of my weekend!!
