I'm really not sure how I'm going to make it through the next month.

I dunno how you wouldn't. You're one of the toughest and smartest people I know. People such as they usually don't have problems surviving.

Unfortunately I have to juggle a lot of things and I'm all over the map with my hormones so I'm having trouble keeping it together.

Everyone I know enjoys a measure of faith from me...that is to say I believe heartily that "they will always be, say or do X" in your case, I believe no matter how hard you get hit, you will survive and move forward.

You may wish you waz dead before it's all over, but you will survive.

And now for the most useless phrase ever spoken - If I can help....

I totally know I've never hit a limit I couldn't figure out how to manage, but I swear to myself time and time again that I won't let my schedule hit critical mass. I fail.

I think most of my problem is that I usually end up with things that only I can do, or things that will take me 3 times longer to explain to someone else than if I were to do it myself. I think I may make Josh write all the Christmas cards.

It also hurts, but I really have to tell friends in my life right now that I am not available to help them and for once, I need help. We'll see if this thins the herd.

The only thing that I can readily think of that I will need help with, and won't need to spend eternity explaining it is packing in January, and painting in late January or early February. I understand completely that neither of these activities would be your forte.

This is a typically God awful time for people who like to have schedules anyways. Nothing ever seems to go according to plan during the Accursed Month.

I know the feeling. You find a way to do it that works, and it works that way because you do it that way.

It might, though I suspect it could also surprise you. Only time will tell. It also depends on what you ask.

That's interesting. I've never encountered anyone who needed help packing before, it was always the Stevedor stuff they needed (not that I am any better at that).

The fact that I cannot tell my colors, have no brush technique and sometimes aren't sure when something is wet certainly doesn't make me a prime candidate to help. Ah well. I am sorry.

[waterspyder.livejournal.com]

I'm hiring professional Stevedors after the last time. I still speak to them all, but holy jeebus, logic was in short supply that day.

It's seriously more a matter of getting my personal possessions into manageable bundles. And last time I asked for help on this one, I had friends who determined that textbooks fit best in the largest box I had. This also made it about as heavy as a box of dark matter.

Stuffed animals = big box
Books = small box

I'll also be big as a house while packing so mostly I'm interested in some sort of human retrieval system.

[corradus.livejournal.com]

...and yet I'll bet you lifted that box of dark matter too...

What do you mean by 'human retrieval system'? Some mechanism to dragoon passers by into loin-cloth clad, chained together, sweating mass of worker bees reminiscent of a pyramidal construction crew in the times of the Pharoahs? Cuz if so I could always spare some of the neighbors I would otherwise sacrifice for good Ju-Ju...

[slobberpuppy.livejournal.com]

I suppose that vodka is out of the question...

[evilbitchqueen.livejournal.com]

Wait, I remember helping you pack textbooks, but don't remember saying they had to be in a big box o.O

And you know just like last time I'm willing to help pack/paint for you.

[zenten.livejournal.com]

I know I've done that before, but I'm not sure if that was with Kerry's move, or one of mine.

[waterspyder.livejournal.com]

I'm getting to the point where I definitely prefer being stationary, and generally navigating my apartment is difficult. I can pack, if others retrieve.

[waterspyder.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I wish.

[corradus.livejournal.com]

Ah...okay. I guess I was just having trouble picturing you as truly immobile.

[waterspyder.livejournal.com]

It's more like a 30-second delay to launch from the couch.

[corradus.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, tell me about it. Okay, i can see how it might just be better for you to form a sort of central nervous system and let agents put plans into effect.

[kali-kali.livejournal.com]

There are certain small boxes at work that are just perfect for books. I've been snagging lots of them, if you want let me know and I'll snag some for you too.

[jagash.livejournal.com]

I am quitting my job after the first week or two of January. This means that after that point i will be available to help in any way possible. The only other thing on my schedule is a pair of classes and they won't take that much time relatively.

Just give me a shout.

[waterspyder.livejournal.com]

I couldn't ask for better timing...

[redeem147.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't it be better to let Josh type all the Christmas cards?

I don't think people expect you to do it all, and if they do, they're poopy heads.

[jagash.livejournal.com]

Thought you might appreciate that. I may not be able to help Angela much with her move, but at least i can help you two.

[waterspyder.livejournal.com]

I should at least get the Thank You cards going...

[waterspyder.livejournal.com]

That could be very good

[redeem147.livejournal.com]

Meh. You've got a year.

[aussie-libby.livejournal.com]

I would love to help, although knowing how far away you live, that might not be particularly practical. However if I can snag a ride or something and you promise to let me nap on the floor I will happily make the journey North to help you pack and paint. It would be my pleasure. Really. :-)

[kali-kali.livejournal.com]

I've got a bunch of boxes in my house right now, so if you want to send Josh over to grab some, just let me know when.

[parisbaby-2003.livejournal.com]

You are TOTALLY going to make it, girl.
You are the strongest woman I know.

And btw, if you need to let off some steam, throwing a wobbly in the comfort of your own home with nobody but Zenten and Princess Pebbles to watch is perfectly fine. You may even feel bettter afterwards.

Or I could bring some popcorn and a lawn chair. Could be entertaining (LOL)!

I can arrange to come up one weekend in early Jan before the next batch of classes get started, and help you with purging and fetching and carrying - you don't have to host me either as I'll just crash at my sister's place which is near Bayshore. The only thing I worry about is the weather, cuz I hate to drive in snow...

[waterspyder.livejournal.com]

I don't mind driving in the snow... I however mind my fellow drivers on the road.

You know I'm Canadian because I can correct a fishtail palming the wheel because I'm busy eating my Timmie's breakfast sammich.
