Packing part 1 unfolded like this: I walked into the room, really looked at the heaps and mounds of things piled in there, turned around, left, and shut the door tight behind me.
There's always tomorrow.

packing, part 1
Today I made my first attempt to pack. It failed. Before I walked into the guest bedroom where I've been keeping all my things for a week, I felt pretty confident that packing would be a breeze. After all, I left most of my belongings and clothing in Syracuse so I wouldn't need to worry about sorting through everything. Two main problems gave me false confidence that I could pack quickly: 1) I didn't realize just how much I brought home, and more importantly 2) I didn't realize just how little fits in two suitcases.
