Okay, I'll go do four boxes to atone for these words

[lar_laughs]

I am feeling very low today. Work was okay. I was able to get through the day okay. Got a ton of boxes. That's the great thing about working at a grocery store. They have boxes coming in and out of that place all day long.

I got home with every indication of packing but I'm having trouble. I did move all the boxes of books from the middle room out into the front room because I'm having a huge sale tomorrow through Saturday. They aren't the books that I want to keep, of course. These are the books that I've acquired over the last few months when I was still entertaining how to make the bookstore thing work. Now that it won't, I need to get rid of some of them. Enough that my dad won't growl too much when he helps me move my stuff. Everything I have left, I'll see about selling through paperbackswap or amazon. It'll be easier again because my trip to work will go by the post office.

The dishes need to be done. The laundry needs to be finished. Some of the craft stuff needs to be condensed.

I just want to write. I want things to go back the way they were last week and I want to be sitting on this couch, concerned with deadlines that mean nothing in the real world. I like those deadlines. They mean I've accomplished something. Have you noticed that real world deadlines don't actually mean anything? Yet, if you miss some of them, you get in real trouble. People get angry. Deadlines usually mean I'm poorer, both money-wise and time-wise.

I'm a thirty-nine year old who doesn't like the real world. There's a psych paper in there somewhere. All in all, I should try sleeping tonight. That would be good, I think.

Thank you for all your encouragement. It means a lot to me. Time will heal this ache in my heart at having this change foisted upon me. It's not the end of the world. Not even a little bit. I'll survive this and probably be laughing about it one of these days. Funny how such these sorts of things can send you right over the edge into the black abyss. I should bump up my Vitamin D.

Hey, I'm a 35-year-old who doesn't like the real world, spends a great deal of my time refusing to live in it, and doesn't even have a job. I know a job you dislike isn't much, but it gives you a little bit more real-person cred than I have right now.....

And if you happen to not have read a book called Blood Red Road by Moira Young? Do so.

*glomps you just because*

*glomps right back*

I haven't read it. Looks good, though. Was just thinking of putting together an Amazon order because I have a gift card that's eating a hole in my pocket!

I can't decide which I think is worse... moving back in with the 'rents or missing out on having my own TV with my own TV shows ready to watch when I want to watch them. Ugh! But it'll most likely get my butt moving toward getting a new job and moving back to a "city" again.

Now would be a good time to quite whining and JUST DO IT. The boxes aren't going to pack themselves.

Moving is one of the most stressful events in life. No wonder you're feeling overwhelmed. I've been in my house for years, and the thought of packing up makes me want to hire a company to haul everything away and start fresh. Except for my computers and my TV, of course! LOL.

I'm just glad my move is at least three years away. I swear I'm going to start packing things up.

Good Luck! May this be a great new beginning.

I'm replying to my own replay because I missed the part about moving back with the 'rents. Ah, well. It happens.

My sister moved in with me and she hates what I like to watch. Thank God for my laptop and Hulu.

I'm totally thinking of doing the Amazon Prime and Hulu Prime to see if I can't see most of my shows. I haven't looked into either to see if one is better than the other or if there's too much overlap. And I have Netflix, of course. It should be okay because my parents really are the nicest parents around. I just can't expect my father to let me watch something other than the Weather Channel, Fox News and Dancing With the Stars.

Every time I've moved, I've always said that I was going to start early but it's never really worked! The best thing is to not KEEP anything. *grins* But good luck with the good intentions!

I've been quite impressed with myself for finding out about this on Monday and being mostly, sort of done today.

*hugs* Moving sucks. I hate it. Hang in there. I think once it's all said and done with it won't be so bad, and you can go back to sitting on the couch and working on your writing deadlines again ;) <3

PS: I'm an almost 30 year old who also hates the real world, but am forced to live in it because I'm single and who else would pay my bills? LOL! *grumble* You're not alone. The real world sucks.

I will sit on the couch EVEN MORE to make up for it!!!! *grins*
