(Un)Packing

I tend to leave packing to the last minute. It has to get done sooner or later, so it always does. It ends up not taking all that long when you just throw everything into the case and boxes, do a quick once-over to make sure you haven't left anything too egregious.

Unless I'm motivated, though, unpacking can take me a lifetime. Motivation includes, and is mostly exclusive to, a place where I want to be. After moving into new apartments, I'm unpacked within a day or two, with my closet the most organised it will ever be, dishes washed, shoes lined up under the coat rack.

My suitcase is still sitting in the foyer, chez maman. Five days later.
