In contemplation of the infinite...

3.5 weeks...

My apartment is a vortex of lone socks, magazines and boxes - the only untouched sections are my computer desk and my TV and DVD collection. They give me a digital sanctuary to return to when I look around at the moving chaos. I can normally find anything I'm looking for at any given time, and so the process of moving completely disrupts my chi. (Geek note 'chi', and its alternate spelling 'qi' are now useful Scrabble words. No need to thank me now - there will come a day when you remember this and you can pay homage at that time). Luckily, I have come up with a brilliant cross-referencing box list so that I can find everything upon my triumphant return with my Master's. Each box has been numbered on all sides and a master list is being done at the same time - Box 10, for example, contains linens and duvet covers. This is a strong contrast to Box 24, which reads "random bedroom stuff". Yes, you all snigger...but when I muse, "Hmmm, I wonder where my random bedroom stuff went", I'll know! The sleds don't get labelled, but only because there isn't a box that they'll fit in.

Things are trundling along nicely. My yee-haw hoedown going-away party is a go, my work replacement begins tomorrow, and I have exactly the same number of tea bags as there are days left in my apartment. It's all a beautiful circle. (yawn) And to celebrate that, it's off to bed for me!

    Mam' sell, I am an absolute believer in left socks first!!!
    I too, am in moving hell and while my life is not so interesting, and probably drunker....please excuse the spellingg errors, I am usually MUCH more intelligent! How does one make order out of random boxes and books and duvet covers!? Assistance please? Maybe less drinking would help?!
    Have an amazing time! I hope to visit near the end of next summer.
    Bon Voyage,

    Zowie, chicklet, you're organized!

    And since I organize things for a living, I am planning on stealing your numbered boxes idea :)

    And now I understand why should've studied your blog before accepting your scrabble challenge... perhaps you wouldn't have pasted me by 200+ points.

    I once attempted a numbering system when moving - but i gave up after after about the 6th box... besides, having unlabeled boxes makes unpacking just like Christmas! :-)
