Burn it all!

[chicken]

When you are packing to move, do you ever reach the point of exhaustion at which you just want to throw up your hands and burn it all? The point at which your worldly possessions start to see more like an albatross around your neck than anything remotely precious? Where you just want to grab the cats and the Whedon DVDs and just run?

We packed ten boxes last night, and did a whole bunch of laundry, but it all just feels like the futile tip of the iceberg even after having done this same thing almost every night for the last week. There are only eight packing days left!

The good news is that we are done painting the new bathroom and bedroom (pink and yellow respectively -- we are such GIRLS). All that's left painting-wise is three more days of toil on the dining room (which will be primed and then painted a nice Peachy color).

Oh, I felt that way at least once a day during the process, and I'm ruthlessly anti-clutter. We probably have a lot less stuff than most people, and I still wanted to tear my hair out on repeated occasions.

That's the thing -- over the years I have chucked just tons of boxes of crap into the trash/recycle bins, so I feel "lighter" than I have before any other preceding move. It's nice, but it's shocking how much is still left in spite of that. What a nicely appropriate icon you have there!
