Moving Time

So, I’ve been quite busy with the upcoming move (going through on the 15th), and even a tad stressed about it. This in and of itself is surprising, since I keep my stress level at about nil most of the time. After all, what’s the point of going through life on edge and pulling your hair out all the time?

This isn’t to say I’m irresponsible, quite the opposite in fact. The more organized you are, the more you can put things like your bills and money issues on auto-pilot, the better you can sleep at night. As I’ve been packing though, I realized something.

I don’t have very much stuff.

Really. Things that are actually mine in our current place are few and far between. I have my clothes, my consoles, my computer, and my desk. There isn’t much more to it than that (I’m sure there are plenty of knick-knacks here and there). In this regard I suppose it’s good that I live without too much clutter, as it helps to de-stress my home environment.

Moving is always a fascinating experience for me. While actually moving all the crap that’s accumulated over the past year isn’t exactly what I’d call a fun experience, I take pleasure in the fact that it’s a productive way to exercise. Moving to a new town provides all sorts of new and interesting opportunities to explore, such as looking for new restaurants and where’s the closest Trader Joe’s. If you’re in a rut, I’d consider a change of scenery!
