My ex. My ex. I don't have an ex romantic partner. Ex friends? Yes, sort of. I had one that really felt like an ex. I felt like she broke up with me, but it was okay because I also felt like she never really got to know me for me, she just had an idea of who I was and when I didn't live up to her idea, she dumped me. That's how it felt, anyway. Maybe I could have been more clear with her about how I felt, could have told her I didn't think she really saw me or knew me, but I have a hard time with things like that. Does anyone really like confrontation? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm tired. I'm trying to be better about doing freewrites. Not getting enough sleep. It's hard to get to bed at the hour I need to get to bed by in order to get enough sleep between when I go to bed and when the child wakes me up. I wonder if the day will ever come again that I get to get up when I want to get up and not when I have to get up. Tired. Hands feel dry. Need lotion. I worry that I'm slouching too much and will be a hunched over old lady. There's a car outside, parking. White car. I see my pretty plants in the window. We're moving. I want to be moved without having to do the work of moving. I was going to look up what it would cost to hire movers for a local move for a day and I forgot. It's probably ridiculously expensive, like most things are if you're not doing the work yourself. But it would sure be nice to have movers move the stuff. I would really like to have movers move the stuff. Maybe that would end my packing block about packing all the stuff. Ooh, I just noticed you can see how many minutes and seconds remain of the timer open in another tab. Did it used to be like that?

A story of how time can pass With the mind that runs from one place to another.
Friends who are not friends, couples who are not a couple is a story of things but intertwined and I liked that, thanks for sharing.

The time will come when you can sleep as long as you want to and, if you're like me, you will be surprised at how much you want to get up. There's less to be done, so you don't have to be stressed about it all getting done! Well, unless you're like me and you leave everything for the last minute.

Moving is awfully stressful! Here's some ideas to help with packing:

First, throw at least one thing away every day. You'll usually throw away more, but having to throw away (or donate) one thing gets the blood going.

Use children's art that you shouldn't keep but you can't get rid of as packing paper. It makes it fun to unpack.

Know that a great deal of the things you pack will never be unpacked, at least by you. Throw more stuff away!

Do allow yourself to get some help from movers. It makes moving day a pleasure, not a nightmare. But make sure they get everything! They try to leave stuff behind if you don't inspect the house just before they drive away.

Good luck!

Thank you!!
