Packing is tiring...

.. even if it is only stuff contained in a single bedroom apartment. Especially tiring when you planned to allocate only 3.5 days for it. Not just is it tiring physically, it is also a very analytical process. You need to run through all the inventory in your head to figure out what to pack along with what to maximize efficiency, firmness of packing, storage space and cost. Also, packing is not just packing - it is also numerous trips to (1) dispose off the trash, (2) sell unwanted stuff, (3) give away unwanted stuff to charity, (4) maybe buy more packing material and (5) get food to eat since you need to pack away the kitchen stuff and clean up the fridge.

I am making up for all the bending-and-stretching I did not do over the past year or more, in 4 days.

The pluses - Having a chance to dispose away all the unwanted stuff is a good feeling. Having an opportunity to donate your old clothes, handbags, shoes, household items to a shelter for battered women is a great-great feeling.
