About Moving....

Anyone who has ever had to make a big move will probably agree that it is generally just one big pain in the ass, especially if you're doing it alone.I've moved a lot in my lifetime and until just recently I don't think I ever felt so effng annoyed as I did this particular time. I hate to pull out the "age" card.....or the "boo hoo me, I'm all alone" card.....or even the ever faithful truthful answer, "My back is killing me"......but all apply in this instance.
Recently I made a 1200 mile move from Iowa to Delaware. I packed a 4 story victorian house literally by  myself and upon starting this move, I was pumped up to make it smooth and very well organized. I had very good intentions....but half way through it, I was tired, sore, pissed off and a host of other emotions. I literally threw shit away I wish I now had...... threw shit in boxes I didn't need and just hap-hazardly packed whatever and wherever it would fit. I'll probably never see my prized food processer again.
I packed a "pod" to the gills and still had a house full of crap and stuff and clothes and shit. So I had to get a uhaul to complete the move. I drove the uhaul out to Delaware with 2 cats in 2 crates and it was a serious uncomfortable pain in my ass. The uhaul was unloaded, but then it dawned on me that most of what I needed was actually still in the "pod" which has yet to arrive. I'm operating on a very limited wardrobe currently and I do not like it. My couches are in the pod as well as all my kitchen crap and suddenly I feel hungry enough to cook but find me calling take out joints to send me food so I can survive. This has not gone quite like I expected.
There is a new thought process now to the term "down-sizing", what I really need to keep or have and what I can live without. I assumed before I left Iowa that this matter would be resolved there...another words...leave what I don't need, take what I do. Unfortunately I got tired and just gave up sorting and downsizing. Now I find boxes here in my new house that I know I didn't want....and the things I am waiting for and need right now are still in transit someplace.....like I made it here fairly quickly....where is the pod route? Siberia? Where is my shit??

More on this later. I have to take a shower with no towels. great.
