I Hate Cardboard.

And, apparently? From the look of my hands... cardboard hates me. I'm sporting two band-aids, a couple wrecked nails and skin that feels like the Sahara desert just took it out for a walk in the park. And , while we're talking about the perils of packing and moving... let's not forget the packing tape that ripped a layer of skin off my bottom lip.

What? Don't pretend that you don't bite the tape to rip it. Don't even go there. I know you do.

I just was stupid enough to try to kiss it, too.

According to my calculations, (And, yes... I do calculations. Geekiness comes naturally to me.) I have just 19 hours to finish packing up my house, finalize a lease agreement for said house with my shiny new tenants, run a gazillion errands, sell some stuff from my business and load Rocket up for the ride home. Oh, and sleep, too. I really am planning to sleep a bit tonight.

And then, I get to come back 24 hours later to load it all up and then unload it back at my Home.

Boggles. My. Mind.

And now that I've used up my 6.75 minutes for a break... I'd better go make friendly with the cardboard and hope it doesn't stab me in the eye with a Sharpie marker.

Puter is scheduled to hit the boxes tonight. So I'll have to update y'all on the move after the weekend.

It sounds like that day at the spa that your hubby got you will come in handy. Go for the parafin wax, your hands will thank you for it.
Wish I was closer to help you... good luck with the move home.

JodyJ -- The mani will help my hands but what of my poor lip? Any spa treatments for biters/kissers? I'm sure there's more of us out there and someone really should develop a treatment for it. Cause packing tape just has no appreciation for the fine job of biting/kissing I laid on it. Grrrr.

And, today? Is the day that my puter finds a box. For sure. Just the kitchen and pantry to go and I'm done! Might pop in here once more before unplugging the Net. Later.

Peeling skin off your lips with packing tape. . . Ummmmm, ouch.

But, you know, my brain is spinning in so many other directions, none of which I should probably say out loud. . . ;)

Desmond -- I will not be responsible for the outcome if you approach your lovely wife tonight with a roll of packing tape. Not responsible!

Sombra -- Looking forward to seeing you and your family, too. Especially your newest little man. :)
