Hopelessly behind...

[lady_karelia]

... is what I am in just about everything.

I'm behind in answering reviews. So fucking late I'm dreading the day I have time to answer because people will say, "WTF? Where did that come from?"

Behind, sort of, in the queue. Because at some stage I felt burnt out and couldn't make sense of sentences, so I figured it was better to simply give up and let others do the admin stuff.

Behind in packing. We're moving in just over two weeks. I've not even started yet. Have a few boxes, but that nowhere near covers the needs for boxes. Yes, yes, the move is only local, and we have this place until the end of October, but, srsly, once I'm out of here, I really have no interest in returning.

I'm whining now, but alas, you've read this far... or not. Dorkboy is leaving for California on Sunday. I am happy in the way that he's really, srsly moved up in the company, but I'm not happy that he's having to travel again, and long-term to boot. I can take California only in small doses and can hope that the earthquakes will only affect me if they're big. Otherwise I'm toast.

Yes to Azkatraz. I will register by about November I think.

And I think I need sleep now.

There are few better justifications for whining than moving house. Stress...hassle...exhaustion... Rented crates are good (and can be used as temporary furniture until the blighters collect them) but each time I say I'll never, ever do it again.

Garfield has some cookies for you... small consolation, I know, but perhaps the sugar will send you into packing frenzy. (But not until Monday, of course - screw the queue and enjoy your time with Dorkboy before he leaves.) Hey, I like the sounds of "screw the queue" - very poetic. *snrt*

Take care of yourself, dear. You get to things when you get to them.

California is nothing to worry about. In the 23 years I lived there, only one earthquake caused the slightest bit of inconvenience. I'll take that over snow storms and hurricanes any time, except for the cost of living, ouch!

packing and moving are the worst!

you have my heartfelt empathy. just take it in small doses, and somehow everything that needs to get done will get done. and maybe some things that aren't strictly necessary might fall by the wayside. if that happens, try to be okay with it. at least, that's my philosophy.

You're moving in two weeks as well? We think the queue's behind now.... So am I. (October 5th)

Earthquakes happen rarely in CA. I've lived in SoCal now for 16 years. Been through one big one, a couple small ones. Really, they're better than tornadoes. (I grew up with those; believe me.)

Hope you're getting a nicer place!

Ugh to moving.... somehow everything seems to multiply when you go from living normally to wanting to box things up!

And yay to you registering for Azkatraz! ;p look forward to seeing you there :D
