Will someone please come over and finish unpacking for me?
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'll unpack if you pack.

Crate and Barrel is closed too. Bastards. I finally found a desk that will fit my space and had people here with car for transport.

The bread has risen about half an inch above the pan. I've never had that happen before (however, I'm using the recipe in BH&G, rather than my mom's, which I don't have and may be slightly different.)
Smells right, though.

packing is so much easier if you aren't invested. I mean, I'd just put it all in boxes. If you pack your own stuff, it requires thinking, do I really want to move this.
unpacking is a fucking nightmare. Granted, a first world nightmare. But still.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I find unpacking infinitely more traumatic than packing. You have to figure out where everything GOES!

When I move, I already know where everything is supposed to go. It just involves actual work and time to get it there. The "OMG,how am I going to get all this stuff packed by Moving Day?!?" beforehand is much more traumatic.

Unpacking is more satisfying for me (granted, the only time I've done that in the past 10 years was my kitchen.) I get to organize instead of the haphazard chaos that was! I get rid of stuff (for some reason, this doesn't work as well when I pack.) Everything gets its proper home, rather than what was available when it arrived.
Next time I move, you are free to throw this in my face.
I suspect I like unpacking more because I hate being packed.

I hate both. I love when I have a place for everything; I hate organizing my space such that there is a space for everything. So there isn't, so it's often a mess.

More than the packing and the unpacking, I am hating the weeding out of the junk. HOW IN THE HECK do we have so much STUFF?
We just went through our collection of VHS tapes. VHS, people and we have a TON.
