Yes, I am guilty of the above, and especially when it comes to moving. I would much rather stick knitting needles in my right ear than pack my things and move. Okay, I exaggerate, but not by that much. The irony is that I move so often. Someone once said to me that there are two types of people that live in New York; those who move every year to two years (that’s me), and those who stay in their apartment longer than the average cockroach family. Now, if I hate moving so much, why would I subject myself to such torture? An answer, I do not have. It must be in my blood.
That all being said, I did start some preliminary packing today. Over the years, I’ve noticed that I sort of have a pattern when it comes to packing my stuff. I tend to pack all of the little knick-knacky things first, and then the books. CDs, vinyl, kitchen stuff, and clothes seem to go into boxes/bags last, because lord only knows when I’m going to need access to that Fall box-set. Oh, and speaking of CDs, this time around there is one more step to my moving process. I need to burn all of my CDs to my computer, a daunting task to say the least.
Once again, I am doomed. Where are those knitting needles? I couldn’t have packed them away already.
