<h1>Stages of Moving</h1>
<div class="barcode">

</div>
<h2 id="stage-1-denial--naivety">Stage 1: Denial &amp; Naivety</h2>
<p>I don&rsquo;t have that much stuff. I don&rsquo;t think packing is going to be that hard this time. I&rsquo;ve already boxed up my books &ndash; how much more could I need to do?</p>
<h2 id="stage-2-coping--bargaining">Stage 2: Coping / Bargaining</h2>
<p>Okay, there is actually a lot to do, but it&rsquo;s not so bad. I can just drop everything in the garage and focus on cleaning the apartment.</p>
<h2 id="stage-3-false-hope">Stage 3: False Hope</h2>
<p>I hired movers for two and a half hours and they did a hell of a job. <em>I&rsquo;m almost done</em>, I think to myself, foolishly.</p>
<h2 id="stage-4-penance">Stage 4: Penance</h2>
<p>All of my muscles are strained and it is manifesting as pain in my sternum, so I am now convinced that I am having a stress-induced heart event as some kind of cosmic payment for my earlier insolence.</p>
<h2 id="stage-5-false-hope-revisited">Stage 5: False Hope Revisited</h2>
<p>Everything has made it to the new location! There is an end in sight! I can rest a little and allow myself to heal!</p>
<h2 id="stage-6-humiliation-to-bring-me-back-to-my-lowered-station">Stage 6: Humiliation, to Bring Me Back to My Lowered Station</h2>
<p>Everything is in boxes and so I can&rsquo;t do simple tasks like cook or get dressed. I spend the day wearing a bathing suit instead of a bra. I still have no internet and all I want is to watch a season of <em>Survivor</em> so I can feel some shred of normalcy.</p>
<h2 id="stage-7-menial-physical-labor-to-remind-myself-that-i-am-a-maggot-to-be-crushed-under-gods-cruel-toe">Stage 7: Menial Physical Labor to Remind Myself That I Am a Maggot to Be Crushed under Gods Cruel Toe</h2>
<p>I have to wash every dish before putting it away because I have brain worms and I decided, like a fool, to wait to install a dishwasher. I am constantly bent over to unpack boxes or clean something. The mountain of Shit in Boxes never gets smaller. Things will never be normal again.</p>
<h2 id="stage-8-regret--hopefully-figurative-self-immolation">Stage 8: Regret &amp; (Hopefully Figurative) Self-Immolation</h2>
<p>Who was I to think I deserved a nice place to live? What gave me these wild aspirations, this sense of entitlement? Who do I think I am?</p>
<h2 id="stage-9-which-appears-to-me-only-in-the-realm-of-dreams">Stage 9: Which Appears to Me Only in the Realm of Dreams</h2>
<p>I am unpacked and life is normal again.</p>
