Whatever, big deal. We all know moves aren't seamless no matter how much I might want them to be just that, I'll move on I always do. But in the mean time the fact that my bed was in the middle of my room (literally not up against anything) with the contents of Jill's bags acting as a modern bedroom "cuban embargo" was really messing with my feng shui. I first noticed it when I just couldn't get to sleep, and then it morphed into my sleep was restless and left me feeling even worse in the mornings. Either way my personal energy and space were completely out of whack. This didn't sit well with me. Now I could have maturely stated to Jill my intention to clean up the room and possibly finalize the location of the bed, but "Homie don't play that." So instead I started on a not so covert campaign to insult my way to victory. This did not have the desired effect.
For those of you out there who wonder how to motivate those you love to bigger and better things, let me share a tip I've picked up over five years. Lying about the promiscuity of loved ones and then calling into question their moral fiber are not the best way to encourage them. However, they do make for amusing fake fights... of course only you know that it's fake but come on they'll figure it out eventually... or start crying... her tears are delicious.
After a couple days of this nonsense I finally spilled what was bothering me and making me increasingly irritating to be around, the glacial pace of the move and the lack of feng shui in the room. It didn't help my mood that Jill originally laughed at my feng shui comment but she eventually came around. Which was for the good since I had thought about increasing her personal feng shui thanks to an idea I gained from Hong Kong architecture.
Needless to say the bed is now moved, my inner harmony restored, and Jill doesn't have a hole in her chest (to let water and air through which carries the Chi that helps sustain your feng shui). So all is better and now we can move on to more interesting arguments like where to place the tv in the bedroom, why i like my dinner table to remain a folding table with folding chairs around it, and why I don't want to take down my Guinness banner from the living room (its because I'm lazy).
