Why Does Unpacking take longer than Packing

I do have an answer that makes sense to me. Unpacking includes putting things away. I can remember as a child that it took me less time to set up things to play with than it did to put them away. Or at least that was my perspective. What are your feelings on the matter?

For the new folks who are reading this web log for the first time I give you a few housekeeping notes. Tuesdays are Crafty Tuesday where I talk about crafting in all its glory. I have a set of essays called Conventional Wisdom about going to conventions and the like. The reason I started this thing was to keep my family and friends updated on my life and Caroline’s life. It has morphed since then into more than that and I am rather proud of it.

Today is partially about the clean up post convention and partially getting things like Caroline’s school supplies, the tickets out to those who are coming to my birthday celebration, and the larder restocked. I also need to restock the larder, which I allowed to reduce a lot because we were going out of town especially the perishables.

I am counting down in my head the number of days between now and my birthday. The next thing on my docket is Gwen’s wedding which is this weekend. Then Monday is my birthday and Tuesday is my birthday party. Monday is also Caroline’s first day of school.

So off I go onto the next thing that needs to get done. Today is a one to the other dot kind of day. Which includes unpacking.

I am grateful for all the stuff I get put away today.
