Moving is the pits

Much as I'm devastatingly sad to be leaving Seattle, I'll be relieved to be done with the *moving* thing.

I am absolutely appalled at the amount of stuff I've accumulated over the past few years. This afternoon I found posters that I bought the summer before I went to college. Six years ago. Why I've been toting them around since, I'm not sure. Also, do I really need to haul a liter of book glue back to Denver with me? [apparently: I packed it.]

And where does all this dust come from?!

Also realized that I drive a two-door Echo. And that my dad and a bag of his are coming with us on this drive. It's just not all going to fit. I'm trying to think of it as being good practice for winnowing all my stuff down to 80 pounds for the next couple of years. But mostly I just think of it as being a terrible chore.
