i should have been finishing my papers, but i'm so worried about moving that i've started packing. i only have tuesday and wednesday morning to move everything, as the previous tenant of my apartment won't be leaving till monday evening. it now turns out that kenneth and davin, both of whom had offered to help me move earlier, are going to be out of town this week, and von has been engaged to help other people move. so i shall have to move everything downstairs and call a taxi. i did put five small boxes of books into kenneth's room today, to be moved when he returns on the 7th. he will make a trip to the post office to ship his things home, so he can drop my books off at garden street. otherwise, everything will have to go in one or two taxi rides. i filled three giant boxes with winter coats, clothes and scarves, and another with some of my dining ware. i also spent a lot of time dismantling my wobbly table, and am extraordinarily worn-out by the exercise.
