This morning I have decided to clean my room. Granted, that does not sound too exciting until I mention that part of this cleaning will include packing things into the boxes that I will not see again for a year or more! Yes, the packing is officially beginning for Japan... or at least packing for storage.
The first step is sorting into piles for America and Japan. Surprisingly, this task isn't so hard for me. It was actually very fun because I had to imagine myself in Japan and ask, "do I need this?" and then I place it in the respective pile. A very simple yes-or-no task, and a great time to daydream about what will be. Now the things which I plan to take with me to Japan are now "neatly" shoved into the avalanche pile by my door.
Next comes the packing, so I bought a lovely assortment of boxes from u-haul (where the kind cashier gave me the employee discount :D ) to fill with packages, smaller boxes, and bags.
I love the small boxes because I have a lot of heavy stuff and I also love the "dish barrel box" because it cushions and structures all of your delicate needs. Except it was not a self-explanatory assembly...
So here's to my packing soundtrack (comprised mostly of Christmas music and Celtic shanties by my fav' group: Makem and Clancy).
