Overly Verbal

So I thought I finally had a plan in place, plenty of time to move, etc., when I changed my mind. Again. Now, instead of having however many days I thought I had to move, I’ve decided to put most everything I own into storage over Thanksgiving weekend, which is not as far away as one might hope, and to live a spartan but incredibly clean life for some two weeks before I turn in my keys, in order to facilitate the turning in of keys, and decrease the cost of moving, on account of I can rent a cargo van and a storage space for less than I can rent a truck and some movers, utilize my own labor instead of that of some smelly guys who are likely to drop my pristine and lovely dresser on its head, and not only save money, but also decrease the urgency with which I must move my things into a new place on a weekend when there is likely to be bad weather. (This plan seems to have also diminished my ability to write coherent, logical sentences. Whatever.)

This, of course, means that I am to have my apartment prepared in somewhat less than ten days from right this very minute, and given that I have been invited to a Thanksgiving day meal that will require my making and then bringing some fabulous addition to the feast,* I should really be, say, packing, instead of playing Scrabble online, writing entries to my blog, and talking to my cat.

Ah well. Somehow I’ve always managed to pull off my crazy plans before, and I don’t see why this one should be any different. In the meantime, though, holy cow do I have a lot of things to do!

* How amusing was the conversation with the “partner” about what I might bring to this meal? Amusing indeed. We’ve considered my performing an interpretative dance about American history, bringing construction paper so we can all make Pilgrim hats, or arranging a showing of “Lords of the Gourd”, but given that I am trying to impress the people that I am dining with, I think we settled on either cookies or cheesecake. (I’m sure if I’ve forgotten any of the proposals, a certain someone will bring it to our attention.)
