So Old

I didn't know I was so old. After unloading a storage unit and loading a trailer, my lower back is super sore. I sit for any length of time, and I stiffen! When did this happen?

AMAZINGLY, we were able to get everything in my 8x10 storage unit into a 6x12 trailer. Wiley's parents must love playing Tetris because that's what it felt like - if we stuff something in this way, we maximize space. So we stuffed. And stuffed. I hope my cushions and my pillows recover. For the people who will be helping us unload on Sunday, I'm sure they're going to be confused because we unpacked bins that had clothes, shoes, sheets, and hangers and stuffed things in every nook and cranny - "Uh, Melinda, you're supposed to wait to unload things into the house, not the trailer". The mirror that belongs with the dresser has little shelves, so shoes got there. Even the chairs to the kitchen table got packed.

I guess this was more an informative post than anything. If you want wit, go somewhere else, 'cuz right now, I'm just too tired.
