mid-move inventory

Pros of Moving:
-filter through possessions and purge extra belongings
-potential from change
-cleanliness
-reminder of how temporary everything is
-no need to lift weights
-opportunity to reorganize things
-the puzzle of how best to move things, and then again on where to put them away

Cons of Moving:
-not fun
-strenuous
-not enough room for just one carload ever (not me, anyway)
-(with shared spaces) where to put things that won't get in roommates' way
-not enough room in new place (at least until space is familiar enough to figure it out)
-put everything in a box only to take it back out
-the soreness of lifting things that are heavy and carrying them around
-sore hands from lifting boxes and other such things
-forgetting where you packed things
-having to put everything you owned into boxes and realizing how much you have and yet how much you don't have

Stubbornness

Things I Find Difficult To Do:
-Call people on the phone, no matter why
-Write thank you letters
-Write any letters, of late at least
-Keep my promises to people lately, as well
-Stay on top of everything I need to do
-Not play with my hair when it's straight
-Not picking at my split ends
-Speak coherently
-Stay Sane

Blessings In Disguise:
-Stubbornness
-Shyness (when misread as mystery...)
-Somewhat average height
-Freakish memory
