Packing is NOT fun

Well, I began the packing process this past weekend. I went and smuggled...I mean, GOT some boxes from Goodwill and Chick-fil-A. I ended up with 20 boxes (all transported via the Beetle Bug...I was impressed, nonetheless). I had a huge pile of boxes on the floor and just KNEW that would be PLENTY to pack up my entire life in Valdosta. Come to find out...it's NOT. I've got 3 of those 20 boxes left...and my room doesn't even look like I've made a DENT in it! Granted, I DID get the whole kitchen packed up...but my room is a wreck! (As you saw in a previous post...). I guess I really shouldn't be surprised it's requiring so much to pack up my room. I had A LOT of motivation to get it packed up this weekend...and now I've lost it. But I'm moving on Saturday...so I kinda have to "find" it regardless of if I want to or not! My Dad's bringing the U-Haul to transport all of my belongings up to Macon on Saturday...and I've been EXPLICITLY instructed that EVERYTHING I own is to boxed and disassembled BEFORE he arrives...yay (said in the most un-enthusiastic tone of voice possible). Luckily, I've had a client cancel my afternoon therapy for the week...which frees up mostly all of my day on Thursday and Friday. And I need to do some more work on packing things up today as well...but that means going out and getting more boxes...bugger. So, I think I'm going to take a short little nap (who me??) and then go collect more boxes and begin packing up things yet again...woo-hoo.

This whole "packing" thing is SO not the fun I thought it would be! (and yes, I actually did think it would be kinda fun...sad, I know.)

I'm just going to try and take the advice of the Seven Dwarves: Whistle while you work! ...except I can't whistle. hmmm...I guess I'll just hum a happy tune while I work instead! :0)

LONG day!

So, my family spent the weekend up in North Carolina. We didn't leave until yesterday, and since I have therapy on Tuesdays at 9:30 am, we were supposed to leave early so that we could get all the way back to Savannah in time for me to head back to Valdosta in the same day. Well, we Huffman's are CONSISTENTLY late...that you can ALWAYS count on. So, we got a late start...which meant I couldn't drive back to Valdosta last night. So, in order to make the 3 1/2 hour drive and get back in time to prepare for therapy, I had to wake up BRIGHT AND EARLY to leave...so that meant waking up at 4 AM! Yes, people...I did it. So I drove back in the wee hours of the morning (after my Mommy so sweetly made me a mug of coffee to-go and some breakfast to-go...i love her!). I got back and had to pretend that I was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed all through therapy for all of my clients...and Tuesdays/Thursdays are full days, mind you. It was tough! I don't know how my supervisor's didn't catch on...guess I'm just a good actress...whew! Soooo, I'm a little on the tired side tonight! However, no rest for the weary. I have other work to prepare for class in the morning. I think I'm just so over it all that I don't cry anymore...I just laugh. It's humorous really. If it's not one thing it's another...ohhh, what a funny situation it is. haha. Oh well!

"This too shall pass."
