unpackrastinate

we have been in dc for 1.5 weeks now, and for obvious reasons having to do with the fact that i am me, we are still not fully unpacked. considering i'm up at 6 to make breakfast and pack lunch, you would think that at some point in my 18-hour day i would find time to do this, but i have miraculously failed. yesterday i made an attempt, but after about a half hour of emptying a bag of clothes onto the floor and shuffling the massive pile to different areas of the floor, i was suddenly struck by a desperate need to get to the only asian market in town in order to make dinner. and in order to get to the market i needed a smartcard for the bus, and in order to get a smartcard i needed to go to CVS. and also i wanted to make pastry tart dough. so after i did that, i walked to the bus stop and gave the driver a dollar because i forgot to go to CVS. after the bus ride, i walked 4 blocks to hana market, which was closed. which was not at all problematic, since i had already gone to whole foods after yoga that morning and picked up everything i needed for dinner that night as well as for boyfriend's lunch the next day. so why did i feel the need to go to hana market? because i didn't want to unpack and my brain invented a distraction to trick me. damn brain. damn unpacked bags. but today, TODAY, i am determined to unpack everything. today is the day. i also need to go to yoga, marinate ribs, figure out what to pack boyfriend for lunch tomorrow that will one-up today's chicken tacos with guac and salsa, visit the smithsonian, finish a poem, start on sta's book, and bake a pie. but after that i will unpack everything. i swear. today is the day.
