RANDOM THOUGHTS

When the movers come to pack and load, you know they really want to exclaim, "Holy cow!  You guys have way too much stuff!"

Does it make anyone else nervous when 2 guys show up to pack, verses the 2 guys and the woman (in charge) that came in the States when we moved over?  Somehow, having a woman in charge makes you feel your stuff will be safer and packed more carefully.

Tuesday night at midnight I realized we forgot to put out the garbage can for trash day, so I went down (yes, at midnight, in my robe) and put it out.  They come at like 6am.  That night I had a dream that the trash man came, but I hadn't heard him, I had just seen movement out my window.  I went outside to look and there was the trash man walking with an elephant.  The elephant was picking up the trash cans and dumping them in the truck.  In my dream, I thought what a clever idea that was.  Go figure.

Last night I had a dream about a big spider.  Possibly from side effects of listening to HP6 where Aragog dies. :0)  Anyway, this spider was at least 5-6 inches long and 4 inches wide.  Gross.  We were trying to kill it.  It had dropped from a web in the ceiling.  I finally got a baseball bat and beat the living daylights out of it. 
Yikes.

I'd love to get a bar stool and go sit in the living room and supervise each box of packing....you know, just to make sure they're being careful....

Wonder if I'm going to have to leave anything here?  I have a pile in the foyer that they're not supposed to touch until everything else is weighed.  Then we'll put stuff on one at a time.  I'm allowed 1650 pounds.  Do I have 1650 pounds of stuff?  Supposedly their estimate is that I have 1350 pounds.  I'll believe that when I see it. 

PS.  I really hardly ever dream.  Or maybe I do and I just never remember that I do.

Sounds like you are having stress dreams. :)

I hope everything in the move works out.

Okay, how much funner would it be if the trash guys had an elephant?! LOL

And I totally think you should go sit in the living room on a barstool, and say something snarky every now and then (and giggle on the inside) ;>

I was reading in an article my therapist gave me and it said that people who have PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) have more REM sleep than other people - they have more dreams/nightmares - so see it's a good thing you don't dream much

From face book looks like you got most of it sent home---the left behind list was pretty small.

We looked up our original move letter and saw that they had actually alloted us more cubic feet than the mover guy said. We sent an email and they saw the mistake. They're coming back tomorrow to get the rest of the stuff.
