I bet MY night's gonna be more fun than YOURS....
...Any second now, my suddenly-ex-girlfriend is coming over to try to move two years' worth of stuff out in... well, what's becoming fewer and fewer hours. :eyes:

This morning, I attacked the bedroom. Put all her books in boxes, cleaned off the bookshelf, and re-arranged the furniture. Bed's in a whole new corner of the room, dresser's elsewhere, everything all dusted and vacuumed. Gratifying.

1. Do you realize that dust is composed, in large part, of her skin cells?

3. Nice thought
We'll always be together, at least on top of the picture frames. :D

2. I hope you
are able to get through the evening without too much difficulty or too many hard feelings. For your sake, I hope it is quick and without a hitch. No sense in making a bad situation worse over nothing more than stuff.

:hug:

4. Quick would be merciful, but unlikely
I mean, I spent several hours today on a very small part of a single room. "Unrealistic," while also the watchword for everything she does lately, applies well on this plan. :eyes:

8. You mean with myself as the target?
...Or, the "wow, it's so clean here I couldn't possibly leave him now" plan? :rofl:

12. You could work it either way. You're good enough. :D




Either the "Aww, he made all that effort for me, I can't leave him now" plan, or the "OMG, that sumbitch packed up my stuff AND re-arranged the bedroom already!!!" plan.

15. I'm going with plan B there
Not so much for the "sumbitch" factor, but really, I'm not going to sit around here. I know I'm supposed to be a wreck, but I've been spending time with friends, swimming every day, etc.

I think since I have 45 minutes, I'm going to go "purify" the upstairs bathroom. :D

6. Maybe you can distract yourself
Like, I dunno, maybe WRITING AN EMAIL TO SKINNER ABOUT YOUR 'LET'S START A MOTORCYCLE/SCOOTER GROUP' THREAD THAT FINALLY GOT ENOUGH YES VOTES TO ACTUALLY FORM A GROUP?!?!?!

Just sayin'.

13. You are some kinda psychic
She was already late, of course, and just called... "It was such a beautiful day" etc. etc. :eyes:

She's about 45 minutes out, yet still coming. I have no idea what she thinks she can do in an hour or two. :eyes:

19. Gave it some thought
Edited on Mon Oct-02-06 07:56 AM by Robb
...then the weather cleared up. No point, since there's no mud or snow. ;)

I decided the trauma of helping pack her life away was smaller than that incurred if it drags out.

On edit: she was stupid tired, couldn't do anything. Trying again today.

16. You shouldn't be lifting a finger to help her!
Set up some chairs and drink beer with friends while watching her lug stuff away!

18. Hope that the move
went well. And you have the right attitude, keeping busy, rearranging your place to fit your needs/wants, spending time with friends, playing jazz! Wishing you good luck in the healing process.

:hug:
