It only tapes a minute!!!

Box of tricks….

As you may or may not know by now, I shall be moving before April, I’m hoping it’s into another house, Bungalow or some kind of four walled type dwelling, although with one bed housing in high demand, who exactly knows😃 . My trying to source housing on this tablet is pretty much like blogging, I write a word, check it, turn round and it’s put in something totally different in(which makes the sentences novel but also quite nonsensical, well more so than usual anyhow). I type in an area, size of house, bedrooms required, and it comes up with some cow shed in Llandudno… although if course it is a very nice cow shed, And the neighbours are very friendly, bit worried about their bathroom habits, on the upside its not far to go for milk and all that, also really not so sure Cinnamon Rabbit will like sharing his abode with several hundred drooling bovines…besides they may want his Amazon box😮

If it’s not cows, my tablet wants me to become a Den mother to a bunch of students, I’m really not quite sure they are ready for living with me, or if they ever would be come to that… I search daily in vain , getting more frustrated by row upon row of unsuitable accommodation pictures, when I do find one that’s even halfway decent, it’s in the middle of an area that has it’s share of daily gang fights, it would be tantamount to waking up each day in dodge city, And I’m certainly not any Annie Oakley, (plus these places have nowhere to park my horse….it would get a ticket on its errrr, rump….😁

All the while this goes on I’m packing up boxes, that I bought from Amazon, strong, easy to construct with holes in the sides as carrying handles….the first lot arrived with cute pictures of vans on both the sides,ends and bottom…I liked this greatly, plus it does also appeal to my sense of organisation, I like to have all the vans facing the same way 😁, ..also with the box van packs, came a reel of white tape, the words fragile emblazoned across it in red, means business,(Jesse has this on order for when I get over there he told me, and he said something about going to wrap me in it) well I think he said across my hips, sounds like that anyway….😷, his just so thoughtful😁.

Monday night

I fill each box as I make it up, carefully labeling it with the room it’s meant for and the contents….whether it’s fragile, glass wear, China etc, this I store in one corner of my bedroom out of reach of me(I’m such a clutz I would probably fall over it or land on its breakable contents) ..the next day my XXL boxes arrived and I eagerly made up the first, careful to use the brown tape that came in the pack…I love that sound the tape makes as you stretch it the box flaps, ripppppppp… that’s when I don’t have to fight them into submission upon the ground first of course..after pinning my boxes down, then taping them up quickly so they can’t burst open again, I stack them neatly one upon the other just to make sure of any unruly ones ….

That night I fell into a deep sleep, I had taken pain killers as I’m still fighting this virus and felt somewhat achy…I must have slept soundly for just over an hour or so, .when I woke, looked over at Jesse, he was still asleep, I lay in that place somewhere betwixt sleep and half asleep, drifting in and out…it was then something caught my eye …I looked over bemused to the corner of the room, a light blinked off and on…..(now please if you will remember I had taken pain meds, .was somewhat asleep still) My first thought was wow that’s so blooming cool, they have even put indicator lights on the back of the van boxes….I loved this thought, laying there watching the light blink…..then I suddenly remembered……just that day I had flung a set of flashing fairy lights into a box, without removing their batteries first….I giggled at my foolishness before falling back to sleep. When I recounted this back to Jesse that morning, he didn’t even look up from his work, or blink an eyelid, I think I find this more worrying than if he had…. 😁.

Going into the bedroom the following day , I looked across at my nice neatly stacked piles of boxes, to find on every single one, the tape now lay flat , not stuck fast against the sides as I intended …..so back to the drawing board and out came the white tape with fragile on…..seems everything’s fragile including the stickiness of brown parcel tape…
