Dead Bug Carcasses

Dead bug carcasses.

Eugh!

DEAD BUG A-CARCASSES!

I really, really, really, do not like me them dead bug carcasses, particularly when they're on my stuff, my stuff which I haven't touched for two years, and is thus covered in dust and gunk and dead bug carcasses.

I feel all dusty. And my boxes are far, far too heavy for me ever to lift up off the floor, let alone carry them downstairs, let alone load them onto whatever truck/van/SUV I manage to rent or otherwise wrangle into personal use so I can cart stuff to the post office and pay a great deal of money to have those same very heavy boxes shipped to my parents' house out westwards.

In short, I have reached the despair stage of moving.

So I'm taking a break to check my email. And blog. And complain. Hope you don't mind too much. It'll give me the strength to go back and pack up all the rest of the boxes I've got.

Good luck with the move! Are you going to miss Boston?

Ah yes. The despair stage of moving. I remember it well.

But not fondly.

I too hate to move. Bleh. And I do sympathize with the nastiness of sorting through dusty boxes covered with dead bugs. It's just been a few weeks since I did that in our basement, trying to make room to finish it. But this was stuff we've had for NINE years that is in the same yucky box! That's when I knew it was time to get rid of them!

I will say, though, I had a very good excuse to say, "Um, this box is way to heavy for me to lift. Can I get a big strong man to carry it up the stairs for me?" Nothin' like being big and pregnant to get you out of unpleasant jobs! See, there are good things about being at this stage! ;0)

You are moving back out west for a little while anyway! I'm positive you will miss Boston and the East as well. Moving is not fun!!!! I only moved from Payson, Utah to Mesa, Arizona. Yuck, to move clear across the country! I am not looking forward to moving again soon, since we are just renting the home we are in. But at least this time we will only be moving a short distance and can take things in small loads. I really don't want to sort through the dusty boxes you spoke of nor do I want to also deal with the dead bug carcasses or especially the live ones I might come across either. Good luck! Kellie

I think moving could be used in interrogation tactics. "Tell me where you're hiding the _____ or we'll make you pack and clean and move. Ahhh! No, I'll cooperate." Best of luck to you!
