Packing this time isn't as daunting. Maybe it's because I already had to box up all my books, horn and piano music and games, since my realtor didn't want anything like that on any of my shelves. But of course, there's still plenty of packing left to do.
I've decided on a quota of one box a day until everything left is needed for day to day living or for the staging of the house. As always with boring or unpleasant tasks, it helps if I can multitask. With my stereo dissembled, I pack while watching DVDs whenever possible.
For practicing horn, I have to choose DVDs with English subtitles. I can watch, but not hear. Also, because I'm a little more detached, I can watch more intense movies than I normally am comfortable with.
For packing, I have to choose DVDs that don't require eyes on the screen at all times. Most TV shows lend themselves to this ... and there are no interspersed commercials on DVD. ER anyone? Battlestar Gallactica? Lost? Hill Street Blues? Firefly? Six Feet Under? (Should I be embarrassed about these choices?)

Holy sh*t! I was even thinking about removing you from my bookmarks because you hadn't posted anything in so long, and WOW!
Well, Gretchen & I will be out your way the end of November, as she has the big AAA (Anthro) conference in SF the week before Thaksgiving, and then her only cousins live in the Bay area, so we always stay out there for Thanksgiving.
We'll be in touch.
Just think about what I watch--that should alleviate any feeling of embarrassment!
