i’m back at my old house for a few days packing up everything. we were so excited to leave that i just went through what we needed and packed as lightly as possible.
now comes the fun. i spent a good seven hours yesterday getting stuff ready to go, but only loaded a few boxes. had to wait to go pick some up from wal-mart.
that was a great experience, let me tell ya!
about a block away from wal-mart, it started to rain. yeah. my timing is always impeccable.
so we walk on in getting splashed with big, fat drops.
as it was still 7something, i didn’t have my contacts in and had to clean my glasses.
blind as a bat, i walked through the entry drying my glasses off. we walk on back to the ‘site to store’ area and just stood there until an employee actually showed up and acknowledged me. plenty were around, but it took a while for one to notice we existed.
anyway, the guy told me i could take them all and just take the big ole cart with me as they were too big for a regular one. those dang carts don’t turn very well and when i went to push it, i stubbed my toe like no other. just had flip-flops on.
i kept looking down at it as we walked through the store to get some other things we needed. by the time we arrived at the register, i noticed it had become a gigantic bruise in the span of five minutes. it’s freaking awesome! yeah, not really. it pretty much sucks…
anyway, the good thing about today is that i got a ton of boxes and it was hardly sprinkling by the time we got to the car. it started pouring right after i closed the trunk.
odd. i normally have the worst luck ever.
well, i suppose i still do. it’s pretty sad when i consider it a good day just because my boxes were only sort of wet instead of soaked..
anyway, i’ve no clue how i started rambling there.
point of this post is to say i’ll be busy the next few days getting everything boxed and stacked and cleaned up. but i like to take breaks. like now. i went and got boxes and they have a certain time you have to do it, so i was up wayyyy earlier than i would have been. so, after eating some cereal, i’m in bed just messing around on the computer. i’m about to take a nappy before i start in for the day.
hope y’all are doing better than me and that your writing and whatnot is going well.
mine’s actually pretty decent.
i need to cut 84 words from a piece of flash fiction so i can enter it in a contest by the 31st. i’ve already cut over 200 words, so it’s gonna be tricky. hope it works out all right. then i have another one to edit, but that one shouldn’t be so bad.
that’s my life in a nutshell at the moment. but i’m happy and loving it. love where we’re living and everything about it. can’t wait to get this house packed up and this chapter of my life over with!! things are gonna be good (i.e. not stressful) from here on out. if it wasn’t for the stress, i’d be all for staying here, but we’re better off where we moved to (or back to, i should say…).
later!! xxx
(p.s. I just woke up from my nap and it seems I was still a bit tired when I wrote this. Forgot to post it, first of all, and then I read it and realized it’s a bunch of nonsense. But whatever, it’s my day 
)
want email updates?
