Life During A Move.

So I decided to move to another apartment this summer when dealing with several shortcomings of my current abode. I started looking in August and found what I wanted this past October. Since my old lease wasn't up till January 1st, 2010, I had to wait to lease the new place, which put my move on December 19th, right in the middle of the holiday period.

So I've been slowly, and I must put much emphasis on SLOWLY, been packing up my things in order to move them to the new place. For some reason I am without any enthusiasm for packing boxes and sealing them up in preparation for the movers to come and get them. I find that if I can make myself load up a single box a day I am satisfied. I'm now down to about 12 days till the move, and I have about 20 boxes to go. I think it will take more than one a day to get the job done. Yet, I still do not speed up, I feel no sense of urgency, I cannot seem to motivate myself to get it done. I procrastinate, watch TV when I should be packing, or decide that after loading a single box that a nap is in order.

I cannot decide what exactly is wrong. I love the new apartment. I will have my very own individual garage to store stuff in. It has a pantry. It is upstairs so there are no loud feet walking across my ceiling at odd hours aggravating the heck out of me. It is five times nicer and better laid out than my current place. I am even EAGER to get out of my current place. Yet, I procrastinate anyway. I guess I am the type of person that needs that last minute crisis in order to get things done. I will wait till it is only five days before the move and then pack like a madman, and get it done with little problem, instead of getting it done in advance and being more relaxed. I need a more immediate deadline I guess, lol. Oh well, while it will be a pain in the ass, it does seem to work for me.

My new couch, love seat, and chair is also scheduled to be delivered this month sometime, and I am looking forward to it a great deal. I've not had a recliner since I was stationed in Puerto Rico with the Navy in the late 70's, and this set has TWO of them!!! I almost fell asleep in the store when I went to try them out they are so comfortable. When I have my large screen TV hooked up and my recliner love seat set up, I shall be in heaven for sure.

I can hardly wait.
