Things I hate #9703308

Moving. I hate moving.
The whole process is cumbersome and a hassle to me. I don't enjoy packing, unpacking and finding a new home for all of our stuff. My last move was 9 months ago from CT to WA and it consisted of my loading down my car and driving 3,000 miles. It was probably one of the best experiences I've had. My mom and I drove the trip together and while I thought I was going to hate it, it turned into one of the best memories I've had with my mom in a long time. We saw the county like I've never had before and were amazed by its diversity and beauty.

Now onto to this move. It's painful.
We are moving exactly 15 miles. ::Side Note:: Seattle traffic is TERRIBLE! Moving 15 miles will save me 45 minutes or longer on my daily commute each way. Logic would tell that this move would  be a thousand times easier then previous move. Not true whatsoever.

When I moved into Chris's apartment things were already set up for the most part and I just had to find my niche (or take over wall space) at my leisure. This is different. This requires me to pack all of the stuff I brought as well as our kitchen, bathroom and living space that has 'shared stuff'. To be honest Chris has been a lot more motivated for this move then myself. He's excited for this in adventure and all the crap. I think his enthusiasm is also contributing to the fact that I hate it more. Misery does love company.

To say that I am picky is an understatement. I probably looked at 10-15 apartments before choosing the one we are moving to and I'm still not 100% satisfied with it. I have found that either a place is too expensive, too old, too small or too large. I feel like I'm Goldilocks in a sea of too big or too small beds.
Now that we have Bailey it has also added to the complexity of the issues we have to address. I know apartment living isn't ideal for dogs, but the way I see it as long as she is loved and we take her to parks she'll be fine.

We are moving officially on Friday but Chris has off Thursday and will be moving a great deal of the stuff then. So I have a few days but lets be honest, who wants to pack after working a full day of work and driving an hour home. Not I.

So here I am packing all weekend and hating every moment of it.
