So, due to a crazy mix-up, I'm having to fully move out of my place during the two weeks I'm home for the holidays and then either move back in or move into another one of their apartments. And I only found this out on Monday, so it has been my huge burden of the week ("shoot, I wouldn't have bought that huge box of cereal a few days ago if I'd known I'd have to either throw it away or stuff it in a bag!") There are a lot of things that I know I will ultimately end up throwing away before I move back to Bermuda, but that I still need while I'm here, and I am pretty opposed to the idea of throwing something away only to buy the exact same thing two weeks later, so it's been tough squeezing everything - the apartment place is storing stuff for me (and I asked "is it OK if stuff is in random plastic bags and stuff instead of packed away neatly in suitcases?") and I've managed to get everything I'm leaving behind into one ginormous-busting-at-the-seams suitcase, a backpack, and three shopping bags. I did it! With a little over half an hour to spare, wooo!
And I think this was a pretty good test for how my packing will go when I head back for good: as long as I don't go on a major shopping spree between now and then, totally doable, if I consider the stuff I will throw away and also the fact that my suitcase I'm taking home for Christmas will likely come back mostly empty once I leave all the Christmas presents and winter clothes at home!
I'm on my way, folks. See most of you soon!
