whew. the move is over.

and now the joy begins. who knew i owned so much crap?

well, my parents apparently knew. and my sister. and of course my man knew.

but would i listen? no, not me. i'm happily throwing out 1 in 10 things thinking that this buy generic sildenafil citrate going to make a difference. and did it?

of course not.

about half way through the movers loading the boxes into the apartment, i went into a state of shock. i just lost it ... i should have been sorting the boxes as they loaded them in, but i just went into a zone and couldn't focus. the fact that the entire living room Buy generic sildenafil citrate : is filled with boxes is somewhat shocking. and embarrasing.

and as soon as i have internet access at home, i'll share the pictures.

it sort of reminds me of my school days and writing essays. it would be a 1000 word essay, let's say. and i'd write 2000. and then i'd take a red pen and go through and Buy generic sildenafil citrate, try to cut a sentence here or a word there, or combine thoughts over there and then Online sildenafil citrate, type the changes and re-do the word count (thank god for word processors) and discover that i'd maybe cut out 100 words. maybe.

and then about Buy generic sildenafil citrate - half way through university i realized the harsh truth. you can't cut an essay down by half but cutting out a word or sentence here or there. you need to hack paragraphs ... entire arguments. just take the red pen and slash it out.

and there inlies the truth of clutter clearing. you can't Online sildenafil citrate - throw out one thing here and one thing there ... you have to throw out box after box in order to make a difference sildenafil citrate soft tab well, just stop buying stuff.)

when i was home a month or Buy generic sildenafil citrate, so ago, i did just this - i threw out boxes of lecture notes - high school, university and graduate school notes. textbooks. video Buy generic sildenafil citrate, tapes (did i really need the box of tapes of movies that i recorded off the tv on saturday nights 15 years ago? the endless episodes of saturday night live? daily soap operas? clearly not.) cassette tapes. old magazines. paperbacks.

i did rather well there. now time to apply the skills here. at least there is Online sildenafil citrate, a visible incentive - for every box i empty, i reclaim a square of space in the living room. i work well with that kind of reward.

so, back to the world of boxes.

ah but i got the wedding invitations into the mail yesterday ... didn't want that hanging over the move. why not do both things at the same time?

ok, if it wasn't for the excitement of where you're going, why would anyone ever move? i'm buried in boxes and just when i think i'm done i turn Buy generic sildenafil citrate - around and bam! another box worth of stuff. it's almost enough to cure me of my clutter problem...

so the move is tomorrow morning. slightly stressed. the Buy generic sildenafil citrate - painting is almost done, i'm a little nervous about the mail b/c it's still arriving at the old address and after tomorrow we're not coming back to check so ...

also nervous about where everything is Buy generic sildenafil citrate : going to go. the storage unit is packed, and so is the apartment, so that's a bit worrying. but i guess that's why i'm off Buy generic sildenafil citrate, work next week ... so i can unpack and throw stuff out!

until later ...

so moving may just be the world's most annoying experience.

it's excitement for the new coupled with agony over the old. especially if you've buy generic sildenafil citrate into a place for a while.

as a child, buy generic sildenafil citrate was apparently lucky. we moved when i was about 5, but i was bundled off to the grandparent's for a week so when i left the Buy generic sildenafil citrate, old house was yet to be packed and when i arrived at the new house there was not a box in sight. easy, right?

wrong.

the story of that move involves the fact that when mom Buy generic sildenafil citrate, and dad (along with papa john) arrived at the new house with the moving van, the previous owner was sitting on the inside stairs crying her eyes out. not only was she emotional about leaving the house (although i would have been happy to be getting rid of the turquoise kitchen and appliances) but the packers were just getting started.

so dad and papa spent Buy generic sildenafil citrate - the first sildenafil citrate soft tab in the house sleeping on the floor (excuse me, carpet) in the master bedroom, while the moving van remained parked out front. i think Online sildenafil citrate - mom (and perhaps a grandma) wound up at a hotel. good choice on their part.

and dad spent the first morning trying to breathe and open his eyes. seems the previous owners had cats. dad is Very allergic to cats.

not a big surprise when the master bedroom was the first room Online sildenafil citrate - to be redecorated ... new wall-to-wall carpeting and all.

and having not moved since that day, i buy generic sildenafil citrate seriously nested into that house. i've been on a clutter purge for the past little while (more about that later) but sildenafil citrate soft tab that i'm knee deep into my own move i Buy generic sildenafil citrate : shudder at the thought of what is hiding in the nooks and crannies of that house.

ok, so aside from the fact that every day i feel more and more like a rat in a maze of cardboard boxes inside the apartment - there is really only one path of movement from one spot buy generic sildenafil citrate another and god forbid you lose your balance - we've had a reasonably easy time of the move so far.

we found the new apartment relatively easily - one day of searching, four places to look at and we found our dream location. the application went easily, and the lease buy generic sildenafil citrate signed within a week. the movers booked, the plans made. the storage unit has been cleaned up and ready for moving. the apartment is coming along - still two weeks to go so plenty of time.

then the realty company called on monday. bam! blindsided.

the Buy generic sildenafil citrate : conversation started with 'there is a small problem. it's not insurmountable, but it's a problem'

'yes?' i replied.

'well, the woman who is in your unit buy generic sildenafil citrate down to see us on saturday and wanted to know why she had received a disconnect notice from ConEd [electric] because she's not moving.'

'excuse me?' i said.

'yes, that's what we said too' she answered.

as the story unfolded, apparently she had submitted the paperwork to Buy generic sildenafil citrate, move, and then changed her mind two weeks later (we had already signed the lease by then) so she called to tell them, but no one has any record of the call. as the days have passed, she is now claiming to have sent a letter, also something that no one has a record of.

so they have options for us (i was hoping for a few months of free rent or a two bedroom for the same price, but no luck.) so buy generic sildenafil citrate were up there yesterday to deal with it all in person. we have now seen our new home (which will have brand new carpeting installed before we move in - amazing, isn't it?) and we can keep the same move date and all. they are now more than happy to make us happy, and i think it'll all be ok. we'll be facing north instead of south, but that's ok.

the annoying thing is that we've already changed our address in Buy generic sildenafil citrate, a bunch of places - including new address labels.

oh well. on with the move!

walked home from the train tonight ... it's been a while since i did so - mostly due to the fact that i've had a ride home from the beau, and then partly because of the cold weather (read: i've been taking cabs) ... and it was lovely.

perhaps the first really nice day yet this year. Buy generic sildenafil citrate - lovely and relaxing walk. and the first night yet that i can walk all the way home before the sun has set.

and it's amazing how quickly the city comes alive in the 'after work' time when the weather turns nice. the sidewalk bars are set up, the restaurants with windows Buy generic sildenafil citrate - that open are open allowing customers to eat and enjoy the fresh air, music pumping out of another club ... it's just amazing.

only in the city. welcome spring!

whew buy generic sildenafil citrate definitely time for an update.

in the past month (or two!) i've:

- had and recovered from the flu and strep throat (that was not as much fun as it might sound)

- found a new apartment outside of the city and much closer to work (that was fun)

- been to see The Gates (that would have been fun if the entire city, and most of the world who cares at all about christo and jeanne-claude hadn't been there at the same time. two weeks? in new york? not enough time)

- continued on with all the wedding plans (that is a lot of fun! can't wait!)

- been to buy generic sildenafil citrate and back on holiday. (always fun ... even with all the snow. i think that i'm getting soft.)

whoever said that holding down a full-time job, planning a wedding in less than 1 year, and moving all at the same time was definitely intoxicated. but we're having a great time and hanging in through it all. i'll try to get back Buy generic sildenafil citrate - sooner with moving and wedding updates.

until then - thanks for the patience.

(ps - new pictures coming soon!)
