Lord have mercy, I'm so excited to be out of this shithole but I'm too tired to do all this packing!! I just spent an hour pulling all the things off the walls and I'm exhausted. Paul is, of course, completely unconcerned about the whole thing. He used to work for an eviction company and his job was to go into an apartment with his crew and a cop and get every single thing in the apartment out, fast. They basically used bedding to get everything. Put all the clothes in a sheet, put all the DVD's in a pillowcase etc. He calls this 'Santa Clausing it'. So he has little fear about the whole procedure because if need be he'll Santa Claus it all. So, I guess I'll basically box up the fragile stuff or the stuff that I really care about and that will be it. That's all the time and energy I have.
For a better idea of Santa Clausing it, here's a picture example. One time we had bought a whole bunch of groceries and he didn't want to take like 5 trips up the stairs so he grabbed a sheet that he had in the car for his LARPing weekends and Santa Claused the groceries up to our apartment:

In other news, so I've lost between 15 and 18 pounds (depending on whether you go by my scale or the doctors). Let me make clear that this is not through willpower but through sickness. I would clearly, happily take back the weight to be well, but since I've lost it I'm not going to complain! I had noticed the weight loss according to the scale but really didn't think that it made much of a difference until the other day when I was putting on my everyday bra and realized that it was just not doing much anymore in terms of holding the ladies UP. I figured maybe I could close it on the second loosest hook instead of the loosest as I had done since I bought it. Sure enough, second loosest worked! Kind of exciting! I washed the bra in hot water that night and then tried it on second loosest again. Still worked! What the heck, I figured, let's try the second tightest set of hooks...and indeed that worked too. Obviously, part of that is the bra having stretched out, but going from loosest to second tightest is clearly more than just stretching. Oh, and my 'uniform' pants that I wear every day? I can pull those on and off without unzipping OR unbuttoning them. Neat!

That sounds like a very easy and fast way to get packed up. Sure, won't work for the china, but it will work for a lot of stuff. Let him do it, and save yourself the time and energy!!! Hope you are feeling better soon and enjoying your new digs.
