Temporary Lease Sweet Temporary Lease

Last night, while failing to fall asleep (failing asleep?), I realized that in the last 9 years I have lived in like 10 places.

Until August 2002: Lakeport
Sept 2002-June 2003: Davis, dorms
(Summer of 2003 I lived at home in Lakeport again.)
Sept 2003-Aug 2004: Davis, Almondwood
Sept 2004-Aug 2005: Davis, Drake Dr.
(Also, summer of 2005 I basically lived in Drew’s apartment at Oxford Parkside.)
Sept 2005-July 2006: Davis, Adams St.
Aug 2006-Nov 2006: Brooklyn, NY
Dec 2006-July 2009: Queens, NY
Aug 2009-Sept 2009: San Francisco, CA
Oct 2009-now: San Bruno, CA

No wonder I have an anxiety attack any time Drew wants to throw away old empty boxes.  I knew I wasn’t just channeling my Hoarder self when I thought frantically, But that’s one of those good boxes!  Hammermill!  It still has its lid!

I think I just had some kind of breakthrough.

Oh man. Crate and Barrel registry boxes, too. I held on to those things until the bitter end – then realized that since we now own a house, we probably won’t be moving any time soon. Then it occurred to me that my parents are leaving for HI this summer… hoarder instincts vindicated!
