and movers in JP and Astoria to help me load and unload my stuff. this is actually happening: i am moving to nyc. in response to this realization, i currently snack on pepperoni, pita chips, and hummus. i think i ate too much pepperoni.

six days until i move. with that said, i’m really fortunate to have my room in the apartment for the rest of the summer. there is NO way i could sort through and pack up 10 years’ worth of stuff in the time that remains. i have decided on the things i will take with me in this first trip: bed, desk, office chair, books, clothes, music, and tv. i’ll be too busy to need anything else, and it will jumpstart the process of sorting, donating, and trashing that needs to be done.

overwhelmed describes my current state. of course, i’m the champion procrastinator and have left cleaning and packing to the last few days (not to mention a party or two in between), so i really shouldn’t be surprised. and, as i just, literally, told a friend, “everything will work itself out. just take one step at a time.”  so, all i can do is take life one step at a time, and deal with it as it comes. i am excited to do laundry, clean and organize my room, and pack up stuff for the first move. that will happen tomorrow.

for today, i’m going to enjoy the rest of the afternoon, and revel in the fact that i am moving to nyc next week! : )
