Packing day(s)

Tape screeching off the rolls. The smell of cardboard and brown paper.  The discovery of dust bunnies the size of dinosaurs because why bother spring cleaning when you're just going to move next spring?  Discarded soda cans and paper plates from lunches. The nail biting anxiety of misplaced keys, glasses, and any other essential bits.   A sudden downpour just seconds AFTER your last belonging was loaded up.  The sound of the very last nail going into the very last crate which will transport almost all your earthly belongings across a vast ocean where you hope to meet it in a few months time.  These are the things memories are made of!
