I've been packing and moving for the past few weeks, and I still have a little left to do--it's the neverending story! I tend to accumulate a lot of junk that I think I "might" need at some point. Of course, I end up forgetting that I even have that stuff because I squirrel them away in "safe" hiding places and only discover them whenever I need to pack and move again.
My lease ends this week and one of my friends very generously lent me her studio apt to live in for about 2.5 weeks while she's away. It's small but nice, clean, and quiet. I better get some work done while I'm here!!
I just realized that, in the last 7 years, I've never lived in the same apt for more than a year. Because of unforeseeable circumstances, I've had to move around a lot, and while it forces me to clean and throw away junk (last week I found notes and handouts from the class I took 4 years ago on Classical Chinese--I hated that class!!), I think I'm going to be happy when I finally get to stay put for awhile.
I don't ask for much, do I?? That ain't gonna happen anytime soon, unfortunately.
I leave for New York City on Jan 14 to attend a college friend's wedding reception, have Nigerian food with Nigerian friends on Jan 15, and will be meeting an old prof and his wife for a tour of the UN on Jan 16 before flying home that evening. I can't wait!
