Well, I'm posting a day late again. Although this seems to happen so frequently maybe I should just accept that I'll probably be posting on Mondays now? We'll see. Anywho (no that's not a typo, just another colloquialism I have sometimes), on to the post! Which will probably be relatively short. Maybe. We'll see.
I'm going to start off by saying I severely miscalculated packing time and cleaning time for my apartment. As such, I may not get my full deposit back but at this point all I can say is "Oh, well" because I made it to Colorado in one piece. Sure, not all my luggage did because I had no scale and was 5 and 6 pounds over the limit respectively on my checked bags. And yes, I'm pretty sure I accidentally tossed at least one nice mug in the trash as I was frantically trying to make my apartment appear mostly clean. But I made it! And I got to sleep all day Saturday and Sunday. I didn't, actually. I mostly read and watched movies with my family, but that's close enough to sleeping, right? ;) Now, my safe arrival aside, I'm definitely going to have to get better at packing before attempting the trip to Scotland. I'll also be getting rid of quite a bit, I think. And resigning myself to the horrendously expensive costs of shipping some things internationally. Some things I won't bother with, such as my yarn collection. I'll be able to get supplies in the UK. I'm not going to be bringing more books than what will take up my plane ride. And I'm drastically reducing my wardrobe, especially since mid-80s seems to be the hottest Edinburgh has gotten this year. Of course, climate change is a thing, so that could change, but in that situation I'll just buy stuff while I'm there. Overall, my takeaways from my most recent move are going to be very helpful for my next move. Yay! What's your least favorite part about moving? Is there such a thing as a favorite part? Let me know in the comments! Happy Reading!

AuthorThe author is a librarian who reads "too much" (is there such a thing?) and talks just as much. As an aspiring author she gets bogged down by grammar rules when she just wants to forget them to make a sentence flow, but never seems to be able to. She appreciates thoughtful comments and constructive criticism, but internet trolls beware, she's read enough fantasy novels to know how to defeat the monsters. Archives
