I am at the point in moving where I don't want my possessions

[untonuggan]

Like, any of them, except for maybe my netbook. But I am still doing packing and people are leaving me lovely comments and I *really* really really appreciate it. It is making me smile in between all the rage and the brain weasels and the boxes.

If I don't comment back right away, it is because I am currently running around going, "blarglblarglblargl" and trying to resist the urge to set all the boxes on fire. Thanks for helping me resist the urge, sorry I can't say it individually right now.

Ughhhh I moved in May and I have to move again at the beginning of August and I just want to set everything on fire and forget I owned anything. So, I feel you so much.

Your icon made me giggle a lot because I woke up today and announced to my household that I was feeling "stabby" and they should be careful. My sympathies on the double move, I think I would feel double-stabby.

Ugh, I know that feeling. Hang in there -- you probably do want to keep *some* of the things.

[untonuggan]

That's what I keep trying to remind myself. *deep breaths*

Lovely icon, by the way.

My sympathies. We moved from NY to Alabama two years ago, with a house full of critters and more junk than we should have kept. By the time we were half way through packing, I was already looking for what I could get rid of.

Yeah I am just glad we don't have a long move, it's only one county, but dear Brigid is this a lot of crap. And most of it's my parents' crap but some of it I was like, "Really, past self? You came home from college and shoved your dorm crap in a closet? Thanks for all the rubber bands, I'm so glad we kept them hidden safely for eight years."

Oh my, I had a recent similar experience. I had a lot of stuff stored in my mom's attic and while I did periodically go through it and toss stuff, there was still a lot there when she died. We stored it in my in-laws' garage for a while and finally brought it here last summer. I just went through it all recently and I had at least two storage boxes completely filled with college papers. I think every time I finished a semester, I was just too worn out to bother with it, so it all got dumped in boxes and taken to the attic. It felt really great to finally rid myself of it.

Yeah, my dad is *really* attached to things...I'm surprised he's getting rid of as much as he is.

Hugs and sympathy. I hate moving! I got rid of a lot of stuff before my most recent move so I didn't have to move as much but I still had probably 20 boxes of books and while I might not have wanted to set them on fire, I'm sure my helpers did.
