Real-life tetris

as a kid, my favorite game was Tetris (this was back when i had time to indulge in video games) That version was slightly more pleasant than the version i've been playing for the last week or so. packing our household has begun to feel like one giant game of fitting the pieces together into a defined space (moving boxes). Tetris is so much more fun when its virtual!

part of me would rather just pitch it all (a sale is only slightly less effort than packing) and put the money for the moving van toward new stuff...i know its not realistic though. but i am starting to understand why people go through 'moving sales'.

plus, i'm having to come face-to-face with my OCD...i don't like putting unlike things together in boxes. like things just go together. that's how it works. except when i find a package of sewing needles and some stickers after i've already filled the boxes with craft supplies. AHH! personal growth is uncomfortable! still, the reward at the end is a new house closer to the new job, sigh!
