Mentally picturing all of my belongings, I knew I could be completely packed in only a handful of hours if I went about it rationally and with focus; unfortunately, logic often falls to the wayside under such circumstances, clouded by associations and emotions that lay like a sleepy fog overhead, bringing everything to a standstill–I found myself among half-packed boxes and rearranged furniture, frozen in thought, unable to remember what I was meaning to do next; such daydreaming and reminiscing has no place among the boxes; it has to be kept on a shelf in the back of a room, let logic and order run things until the move is complete, then it can be brought down from its hiding place, unpacked in its new home.
