Baggage

So the movers came yesterday and packed everything up. The idea is they pack one day, then come the next day with a big truck to pick it all up. I'm waiting for them to show up now.

We're supposed to have everything that we don't want packed set aside, then make sure they get every single other thing in a box.

It's never a clean process...they always miss something, then we miss it too, and then we're toting some damn family heirloom around with us in the car because we can't throw it out....

So when we get in the car Friday--eight weeks from when we make a new home--it will be just the man, me, the dog, everything we need (I hope), and, I guarantee, some old dysfunctional item that keeps getting in the way.

We'll just have to work around it.
