vividshimmer , I has loaner phone. And a mysterrrrrious credit on my account. :-O I have fucking AMAZING friends.
Right now I'm in the oh-fucking-god-KILL-ME-I'M-SO-FUCKING-TIRED-AND-MISERABLE stage of moving. This, I have to say, is the absolute WORST moving experience I've ever had. Second Place would go to the time I have to have a police escort with me while moving out of a friend's house, because his psycho then-wife claimed that I had "threatened" her with - a wooden spoon (I was stirring spaghetti and gestured toward the doorway with the spoon during a heated discussion - so I guess I cook in a threatening manner....?). Ayup. The same psycho then-wife who shortly thereafter KIDNAPPED their daughter - and ran away to Czechsolvakia. I cannot make this shit up. Took him 5 years and thousands and thousands of dollars to track them down and get custody of the kiddo - but happily they're together now (friend and child - NOT the psycho ex) and living in the UK. Er, so anyway, yeah - this move actually tops that one in terms of how horrible this process is, by way of comparison.
The hardest part, aside from moving to another state with inadequate transportation, is the packing process involved in "what can go away for 3-6 months?" Which is pretty much EVERYTHING aside from clothes, toiletries and some books for the work I'll be doing. But the sheer volume of things aside from those things is really staggering me right now. I think if this were just a move across town I wouldn't be processing it as being as much stuff, because it would be simply a matter of a few car loads (and probably a friend's small truck) and bob's yer uncle. However, having to move what seems now to be a daunting amount of stuff into a storage facility an hour away, and with very little time to get it done and still get a bunch of other things settled at the same time - again, if it were just a matter of going across town, it could be accomplished easily. But the way things are happening at the moment - it really feels completely overwhelming, and I can't even begin to imagine how it's all going to come together in the next 48 hours. I can't. I really just can't.
I have really great friends who've been a wonderful help. My neighbor just spent a couple hours kicking my ass and helping put things into boxes just for feeding him pizza. But I'm still NOT ready for the dragging of stuff up to Santa Fe - and it doesn't really matter that I'm not ready, because it's happening tomorrow morning at 8am whether I'm goddamn well ready or not.
I feel like I can't even move my body at all right now.
Setting up hammock for a nap.
Fuck all this for an hour.
FUCK
