Moving Day
6:15am.
The Black Friday chaos began before I awoke.
People were lining up last night for the sales.
I'm nurturing my own little bit of chaos right here.
The lamps are all packed so I write this in the near dark, light wafting from the kitchen, waiting for the sun to rise.
Having a triple espresso.
I may need another.
The living room looks like a box farm.
They reproduced like rabbits over night.
I begin to imagine the chaos at the other end.
We should have signed a 2 year lease.
My heart thumps loudly in my chest; I feel it in my head.
Fetch the bikes from storage in the basement.
Wake Chis.
Breakfast.
Maybe another espresso?
How many things have I not thought about yet?
Are they going to laugh at the size of the dust elephants behind the wardrobe?
Good grief, Charlie Brown, I sound like my mother.
If the stars are aligned, they will finish in time for me to get to Rachel's class.
That will make it all melt away.
I will return to an empty apartment.
And inflate the air mattress.
Bring it on.
I am ready.
