Stuff, littler stuff, and needing your stuff

Well, Thanksgiving is almost here and for the most part my workload on the job is slowing down a bit. Of course the work required at home is picking up. I guess I shouldn’t complain. My daughter, Kristin, called today to say the movers will be there to pick up their stuff tomorrow. I can’t imagine having to pack-up everything you own and trusting it in the hands of total strangers. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve moved, a lot! But, I never left my stuff with strangers. I’d be a nervous wreck.

Not only are total stranger moving them, but they will not see their stuff for over a month! They will be visiting relatives for the next 30 days. Once they finally land in the same state as their stuff, they will still need to find housing before their stuff can be delivered. I would suffer so much separation anxiety that I wouldn’t be able to enjoy myself.

I remember when I was young, in my teens; I used to daydream about how great it would be to travel the world with a backpack and a bed roll. That so does not sound appealing now! My daydream now is to travel the world by being molecularly transported to locations around the world with my house, shop and garage. Because, I just might need something and it would be so much handier to have everything there. Not to mention I could sleep in my own bed, with my own pillows every night. I’d have my car and all the things I know so well. Not to mention a bathroom handy.

I like that commercial on TV where the girl jumps out of her big jacked-up truck, hits the lock on her keychain, and then hits another button and the whole thing folds itself up until it will fit in her little tiny purse. That is brilliant!! You don’t have to worry about paying for parking, someone hitting it, or it being stolen. And, if you’re at the mall, you don’t have to walk back a mile to get to it, its right there in your purse when you’re ready to go. We need scientists and engineers working on this kind of technology. You know something really useful to everyone!!

Parent of whiney, crying babies could maybe do the same thing, especially when they bring them on plains!!
