Unpacking is hard for me because I have a systematic and slightly OCD brain. To me, there is an order in which things much be accomplished. The trouble is, I can’t do No. 2 until I finish #1, and before I can do #1, I have to get to Part C first, which I will get around to… just as soon as I accomplish Section a.
It goes like this:
- I need to unpack a box full of bedding. I am planning to put the bedding in the green dresser.
- But… since we’re making a big dresser switcheroo in honor of the move, first I must unload from the green dresser all the junk which we packed inside the dresser drawers for transport.
- Some of that stuff in the green dresser drawers needs to go straight to the Rescue Mission.
- I need an empty box to fill with stuff to take to the Rescue Mission.
- But I don’t have an empty box for reasons listed above!
- Some of the other stuff in the green dresser drawers needs to go into other dressers (by the way, we have waaay too many dressers, but I love them each and every one). But the other dressers are full of junk which I can’t sort through yet for reasons listed above!
See? I’m right back to where I started.
Unpacking is so hard.
*whine*
Another reason I never get around to unpacking: I fill my hours with good things like any daydreamer would. For instance, a photographer has only a short time period in which the fall colors are just perfect for pictures. So she must seize the moment! And escape the house…
*wink*
So mostly, I’m just lazy.
Please don’t come visit yet. Things are a mess around here.
I’m going to have a beautiful house in another life, and I want you to come then.

Ah, that is alike lot my reasoning…. am unpacked, but can’t eliminate anything I don’t need… Bet being right here where U started is making U remeinise (sp) . I can easily let my mind live in the past here- been here alot of years, although other places awhile too…
