too much stuff

Here it is midnight, and here I am still packing. These last five years are the second longest I have ever lived in the same location, and it appears that I have set down more roots than I originally expected. I do wish that I had left myself a little more time on the end... more time for people that I am really going to miss... and yes: more time to pick up and remove the vast pile of things that I have also unfortunately become attached to. I suppose it also would have been nice to have some of those people around while I packed. Even if they never touched a box, their very presence would have kept me far more focused on the task at hand.

Anyhow, I'll be mostly incommunicado for the next several days as I travel to Florida and re-establish myself.

Until then, time will tell.

I feel your pain, although we are not moving quite as far, we have more entities to pack for. Aside from Angela and the girls, there is also the stumbling poodle (had a stroke, recovered but clumsy) and the neurotic cockatiels. makes for a lot of stuff from a family that professes to be on the outside of the consumer lifestyle.
