This moving thing sucks so much. I had great intentions this week, move it all over, hang out with Roomie — and did nothing for 2 days. Well I did hang out with Roomie a bit, but I didn’t really move much until Thursday, and only made one trip today. (Friday) I did get the bed over last night and slept here, and I did unpack and put away everything that I brought over because I’m reusing the same 3 boxes again and again, so I’m making progress, but school starts Monday and I don’t know that I will have it all done by then.
I just ran out of steam. I got the place all cleaned up, but didn’t have the usual drive and excitement about moving that I have had my entire life. I’m not sure what it was. Leaving the comfort of my bedroom at home, or all the back and forth by myself, or what — I just didn’t want to. I spent 2 days on the computer and asleep. I finally emailed my therapist and got my appointment moved up because my executive dysfunction was just ridiculous. He told me to move the bed and the computer — I got as far as the bed, the computer can wait until Sunday when I have the big push.
I still have some furniture — a small cabinet, a mini fridge, the desktop computer — the cat and all his stuff. I can do all that in one load, computer and the cat in the cab, furniture in the bed and off we go — and I have a dolly to bring it all in, along with my requisite 3 boxes of stuff that I still have laying around at the house. I still need to grocery shop as well, so that’s another trip out after I turn Nigel loose to explore his new surroundings.
But I have been putting everything away as I move it, so it’s not a jumble of piles or anything, just a rapidly filling bookshelf and some clothes really. I don’t have a ton of stuff because I pared down a lot when I lived on the boat. I have another bookcase to fill, and my Talmud books are probably going in my room, where I usually listen to my podcast on the page of the day. I’m one behind now, so I have to catch up before Sunday ends.
School starts Monday, but I don’t have to go on campus other than to pay my tuition — I did finally talk Mum into it for at least a semester — and to get my ID card. My Monday classes are all online, Tuesday is on campus for a lab and history, Wednesday is online, Thursday is archaeology online and history in the afternoon on campus — and Friday is online. So over all, it’s not that bad, I did have to order a new book, but not a big deal, it was $9 used and should be here by Tuesday when I need it. I think I have one or two others — a lab book and a pdf textbook, but the labs don’t start for a week, so I have time.
I’m glad I decided against the parking pass, because I don’t need it really, I can park at the sports stadium and take the shuttle to campus for free on the days I actually have to go in. It means I have to arrive earlier, but all of my actual on campus classes are in the afternoon, so no big deal.
I’m going to spend Shabbos chilling out, sleeping in and catching up on my Talmud lessons, then I’ll be here after Havdalah to hang out and reply to comments.
What’s Your Fucking Problem, Folks?
