Too Busy for Real Post

But just so I remember...

1) Went to the hospital Friday with contractions, drank water and they went away.
2) Nurse told us we should go to a nicer hospital because we a) have insurance, and b) are white.
3) Discharged from the hospital to find out the owners of our building want us to move out by July 31. Were planning on moving out Aug. 31.
4) Found out the place we will move into will not be ready until mid Aug. at the earliest.
5) Cry.
6) Parents tell us to move in for a month. Not persuaded by the one room/bathroom accommodations. Persuaded by the possibility of saving $1315 in rent.
7) Frantically tried to make up for time spend on 5) by working late on project for work.
8) Lost sleep and felt nauseous.
9) Despite 8), still went to midnight showing of Harry Potter.
10) Drove around Newark and Elizabeth asking liquor stores for empty boxes.
11) Did not get shot, did get stared at.
12) Finally got motherload of boxes from IKEA.
13) Packed up things we don't use.
14) Packed up more things we don't use.
15) Packed up some things that I didn't even think we had.
16) Felt the need to simplify.
17) Went online and saw that my take-home exam is already up.
18) Asked boss for time to study/work on exam.
19) Received heart warming speech about the importance of academics and the need to prioritize.
20) Was asked to do more work.
21) Will, instead of doing work or studying/taking at-home exam, pack up some things we don't use.
