Unpacking the Boxes: A Memoir of a Life in Poetry | Donald Hall

I just cringed and my heart was broken when I saw how my boxes of books were being handled 💔😢

All moved in now I just have to unpack but I have no motivation. 😔

Reecaspieces Put on a GOOD audible book and see how much you can get finished per chapter. It will be a race with yourself...might help. Only if you are competitive like me. I like to set goals and that seems to help. Good luck. 7y

AmyG Agreed. Audio books are getting me through packing up my house to move in July. 7y

Despite the label, this doesn't look like a box of books... #catsoflitsy

Sace Peekaboo! I see you! 7y

Kaye I like the Multi-use. That means a cat can use it for a hiding place. 👍 (edited) 7y

erinreads I‘m so glad you have a cat child back in your life in your new home! 😻 7y

I opened the door to go to work, and there was a package at my doorstep! Like magic! Kili had to inspect it of course. Thank you! (You know who you are.) #whodunitdoesChristmas #catsoflitsy

Ok so first my #booktoteswap box gets here and stares at me for a week and a half. Today when I got home my #Secretsantagoespostal #wintersolsticebookexchange is here. I have to wait 20 days!?!!! FYI the town the box was shipped from is the name of the town I was born in BUT in Washington! Also a shot of Poirot. #catsoflitsy

Cinfhen, Robothugs

Robothugs I looooove old books!! 😍 7y

Librarybelle @Robothugs ❤️❤️❤️ 7y

TricksyTails Old books always leave me in awe. I can't stop looking through them and staring at them, wondering where they've been. Is that weird? 7y

Librarybelle @TricksyTails I don‘t think so! 7y

Big heavy sigh.

drokka I feel your pain 🙂 7y

LauraBrook My advice? Audiobooks, Advil, and alcohol. 7y

silentrequiem @LauraBrook I've been drinking whiskey for my cold already. I may need to up my game. 7y

moranadatter Been there! How're you liking your new home so far? 7y

silentrequiem @moranadatter I love New Mexico. But can a wave a wand and everything is magically unpacked? 7y

annamatopoetry If you're moving in a few months, maybe don't unpack everything? Btw I am already working on a mood board for you ☺️☺️☺️. Also, feel better! 7y

silentrequiem @annamatopoetry my kitchen stuff is somewhere in there... but yes, I was thinking that. 7y

I have a few box sets, but it's the carrying case Mythologica and The Divine Comedy that are probably the more striking. #BooksFromBoxes #JuneTunz

Unpacking the boxes is what I was SUPPOSED to spend next week doing, but our new landlord called today and said our new place won't be ready to move into tomorrow. 😔 Looks like our move may be pushed back to mid-January, but all my books are in these boxes!! 😭 1st world problems, to be sure, but I know y'all will understand. 😘

Suet624 Definitely tragic. 8y

cariashley Ugh that sucks! When I moved earlier this year, my movers canceled the morning of because it was snowing where THEY were (not where I was or moving to), and the couple days extra wait nearly killed me! 8y

ChasingOm @cariashley, that sounds terrible! 😱 8y
