maverick_weirdoThose of you who read this are probably already aware that when my wife moved out this past May, I refused to help her move. Letting her go, when I wanted her to stay, is tough enough without helping her walk out. I did not help her pack; I did not carry boxes; I did not move furniture.
She got about half her belongings over there, and said she would pick up the rest when she got a chance. It is nearly four months later and less than one car load of her belongings has been moved over there in the intervening months.
In Massachusetts there is a tradition called The Tax Free Weekend. In mid August, to boost the economy, sales tax on consumer goods is repealed temporarily.
I decided to declare Laborday Weekend this year a The Guilt Free Weekend, meaning that for this weekend, and this weekend only, I will help her move her stuff out of my apartment. I'm doing this as much to get it out of my way, as to help her.
