(things i have learnt i) 

1. when trying to save time with cooking (while moving etc), it is best not to resort to buying jars of tomato sauces, after the jar I bought the other day was so unutterably disgusting that none of us could eat it.  HOW hard must it be to make tomatoes inedible? It was Gulosa, by the way.  Tomato sauce: MAKE YOUR OWN (tinned tomatoes allowed).

2. with more time to just think inside my head with all this lugging, with less time to just blurt, flail about and scribble, I have come to the terrifying but quite liberating conclusion that I have never got past the age of 10.  That is it.  I am a 10-year-old in an almost 40-year-old's body.  That may have solved very many of my few problems.

3. Life is too short to a. fuck about and not do what you want to, and b. to put up with silly people and bullies, and c. so there, nyeurgh, yah boo sucks.   

4. Just because you spend three weeks lugging, heaving, hefting and carrying, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will ACTUALLY lose any weight.  I thought I'd lost some kilos but I don't think now that I had.  And then I started checking obsessively, and know that I categorically haven't.  People keep reminding me that muscle is heavier than fat, but does it wobble like fat? In my case, YES.

5.  Crap-lugging makes you lose your memory.  I used to remember EVERYTHING.  Now I'm relying on scraps of paper and notes on the back of my hand that get washed off before they've served their purpose.  Is it age or knackeredness?
