Tayari's Blog: Please Forgive The Posting Slow-Down

The Shoe Room
The time has come for me to pack up my books and shoes, an emotional and tedious task. I need to learn to move like professionals. (Having moved nine times in fifteen years, you would think I would have the hang of it.)

The pros just toss the stuff in a box, seal it up and keep pushing. Not me. I handle each book and say things like, "Wasn't there something weird about the point of view?" Then, I want to sit down and leaf through and find whatever it was, then I get caught up in the plot again.

And with shoes, I think "Oh! I remember these! Wasn't there a handbag to match? Wait, no. There was a dress....." And I will actually open a sealed box to look for it.

I am determined to have everything packed up before my dad gets here with the car on Monday. I don't want him to have a flashback from picking me up at Spelman twenty years ago. My father loves me, but even he has his limits..

Don't I know what you're going through. I've been lazy about going to the stores to get boxes (but I finally did). I've been putting off packing up anything everyday (I'm not moving until next Saturday). But one thing is for certain, I sure am ready to move.

Good luck with your packing and the move! Although, I thought you already moved...
