More Moving Madness

[ase]

Today's epiphany recast in Socratic dialog:

STUDENT OF LIFE: I am moving! Where will I get boxes?
SOCRATIC VOICE: Do you work in a lab?
SoL: Yes I do!
SV: Labs use a lot of disposable items, don't they?
SoL: Yeah...
SV: Which have to be replaced with outside shipments, right?
SoL: Yes they - oh.

So I collapsed three boxes, stuck them in the back of the car, drove home, and realized I'd forgotten packing tape. Good for me. Also I gave myself a cardboard cut on my left index finger that bled generously. Perhaps this moving thing is making me a bit giddy.

Do you still need boxes? Packing materials often end up in the trash area on my floor. I can pull the sturdy looking ones if you want.

Yes, please. I really don't have a good working knowledge for packing guesstimation, so more is definitely better. I hit up stores for boxes today and took everything I could put in the car. I'm going to go back for more tomorrow. Worst case scenario, I throw the clothes in trash bags.

Also, I bought packing tape, so now I can actually pack and close boxes. I am so completely unprepared for this I'm scaring myself, but I only have to pack a bedroom, kitchen and about 1 1/2 bookcases; I'm already living out of a suitcase. This weekend should see about 3/4ths of that packed. Yay house-sitting: dishes and pantry goods can get boxed with reckless abandon!

Good luck with the move; be sure to email me your your new address when you can.
