If I count them I might get depressed though. Packing is tough work but strangely...I kind of like it. HAHA.It's a bit calming wrapping things, making them fit in the boxes. It's like Tetris.

I don't know, I've been feeling restless. It's nearly 2 AM. I have an enormous bug bite on one arm and it's swelling up and grossing me out. Randomly a red translucent looking insect bit me a couple days ago and it's still itching! That jerk.

I get so wrapped up with everything else in life and with work I just sort of put other things on hold. Couple things... 1.] I've had a haircut. Cut off about 6-8 inches of hair. It's still pretty long, but I'm already missing my down-to-my-waist hair. Au revoir long hair...2.] My computer got fried last week during a lightning storm.
