Kick in the Head

There are a lot of boxes in my apartment right now. I’m pretty confident now that I have enough empty boxes to contain the rest of the stuff in the apartment. And yet, getting that stuff into those boxes is still a huge hassle and seemingly insurmountable challenge. One way or another, the movers are coming on Sunday to load up our stuff and get it going to San Diego. My actions between now and then will just determine how much work they have to do when they come through my door.

I’ve already realized that I’m not going to cook any more food between now and Sunday which was a nice first step. Still though, god damn an apartment can fit a lot of stuff.

Slowly removing unused items from different areas of the apartment is a rather satisfying way of feeling productive while packing for a move. I was making dinner yesterday and thinking about what I could take out of the cabinets like plates that I know I won’t be using etc. Then I was thinking about the cabinet and all the stuff that are merely food components but unto themselves cannot be consumed.

We’re actually just about out of salt, but maybe it’s too close to the end, and I’ll have to either get more or look to see if we have a small container of sea salt. There’s still a fair amount of oil in the container we have and there’re a few pots worth of rice left.

I just hate wasting food so much that it would pain me to even throw out any of these sorts of things. We’ll see how this goes in the coming weeks. Though really most of this is non-perishable, so I’ll probably end up taking a lot of it anyway.

The fridge however…

Actually with my no continuity initiative I’ll probably end up doing some laundry comics because it’s something I forced myself not to do because the characters don’t wear clothes except for the scarf and the very occasional T-shirt.

Yeah, we’re gonna have a lot of winter coats in storage when we go to San Diego. Fortunately, the apartment we’re moving into has a small room that will be perfect for storage! Huzzah!

I’ll miss having the extra pockets though. When I went to visit San Diego it actually got pretty chilly at night time even though it was in the 60s during the day. So my heaviest jacket will stay in storage, but my light to medium will probably still get use. I’m guessing my scarf will stay in storage too.

Kind of sucks because a friend of mine got me a spiffy scarf made to look like an original Nintendo controller. You can bet that I’m wearing that every opportunity I have until I move.
