packing with physicians

in order to make the move a little less personal, i have packed while watching the entire season five of grey's anatomy. it's easy to trivialise my issues (where should this bookcase GO?) when i have to worry about Christina possibly getting into an abusive relationship and see how they are hiding "lexie's" real life pregnancy.

so while i didn't give grey's my 100 full attention, it sure was a good diversion.

the flat isn't 100 packed. i have a life, peeps! i am packing around my life, and some days i find myself looking for distractions to avoid packing. and really, there are some things that can't be packed right away.

there is that study about stressful things. moving is quite high on that list of stressful things. our move is not far, but it is still stressful and emotional. i can't imagine how odila did it. i am finding i do need my space, but at other times i do need to vent. today my topic was "so many marriages are breaking up, how do i know it won't be me?"

at least i know i am not being rational.

i got sebastian's report card today, and i cried over it. just some of the things that his teacher said. she mentioned the support he gets at home. and let's be honest, i could do so much more. she mentioned the obvious – concentration – but she also called him a delight to teach, gentle, respectful of others, interested in processes and kind. i just got overwhelmed. i have been his mummy for seven years now.

and we have lived in this flat for eight.
