all the evil forces in the world conspired to make today happen
Moving is the world's way of saying, "You think you're hot shit, but in truth, I can beat you down. You're no better than anyone else."
I hate this. I didn't really mind the packing until about 72 hours ago when we reached the Critical Point, the point where nothing that's left fits into boxes and when it does, the boxes don't have a cohesive theme of any kind. Among the remaining items at T minus 11 hours till the movers arrive are two floor lamps, a stuffed elephant, a mini cooler, and a lampshade. Further, three boxes and one drawer in our Target stacking drawers are half empty and cannot be filled with those big items.
We also have a disgustingly large pile of items that need to be crammed into Lauren's car so that we can actually LIVE for the next 4-12 days until our belongings arrive in Oberlin. I can't even fathom how it's all going to fit in there, so we'll need to pack the car before the movers get here Just In Case. I'm not even going to touch on how the day actually went today, because I could never do it justice.
And did I mention we have less than 11 hours till they get here?
And did I mention that I only got 4 hours of sleep last night?
And did I mention that it's been at LEAST three days since Lauren and I managed to have a conversation without biting each others' heads off at least once?
