Packing

Lots of packing.



I'm moving to Keene New Hampshire tomorrow. There are explosions of my stuff everywhere throughout the house. There's barely room for me to walk across my own room. I desperately want to spend time discarding/donating stuff I do not need, now that everything is in one place so I can use the KonMari tidying-up method, but there's just not time.

Moving is stressful and time and energy intensive. And I do it alot. I'm trying to apply part of the advice an expert India traveler gave me about traveling through India successfully: "Don't think about it too hard."

So I'm fighting my desire to make everything neat and plan for every eventuality. Instead, I'm just making sure I have all the things I know I'll need plus plenty of extra pairs of underwear. If I want something and don't have it, I'll just make do until I've got a chance to go back home.

I hope to get back to some kind of normal posting routine soon. Heck, I hope to get back to some type of normal routine, period, soon. All this crazy traveling leads to disrupted routines and less work getting done. But that's just it's own set of lessons and challenges I suppose. It's easy to perform under the settings you practiced in, it's much more difficult to perform under substantially different settings, but the only way to learn how is to practice.

That's all and more for now. Originally I was just planning on having the title and the first sentence.

Take care, be well, remember to laugh.
