I should say unexpected change. When it's imposed on me and I have no time to adjust to it. Such is the stuff of meltdowns and shutdowns.

I've had probably 2/3 of my possessions in a storage unit that my mother's been paying for - which is fine. She hadn't asked me for help in paying for it in the past and until recently it wasn't an issue. Now, though, she's just stopping.

The problem: I get to find out four days before we're locked out of the shed, and have to make room for all this stuff I have no room for or lose things I have owned for years - some of it my entire life. I am not a hoarder - this is stuff that I actually use when it's available to me, but giving me this kind of choice with no notice is making me lock up and shut down.

It's probably good I've been planning for a long time to reorganize my stuff because that is just about the only functional thing I can handle at the moment, and that because I've had plans in mind for so long.

Truly spoken.

I honestly wish this wasn't a problem for me. It makes it so hard to do something as simple as making plans.

I definitely can't do tomorrow because of this thing I wrote about in the OP. I have to clear up the mess my space has become to make room for more stuff.

There was one change that I wasn't prepared for in the December of 2005. London will never be the same.

I think that was about the time London got rid of their Double Decker buses.

Ah, it was also about the time The Kinks were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame.

Wiki says London still uses double decker buses.

Quote:

The red double-decker buses in London have become a national symbol of Britain, and the majority of buses in London are double-deckers. A particularly iconic example was the Routemaster bus, which had been a staple of the public transport network in London for nearly half a century following its introduction in 1956. Because of cited difficulties accommodating disabled passengers, the last remaining examples in use finally retired in 2005, although Transport for London has established two "heritage routes", which will continue using Routemasters on selected parts of routes 9 and 15.[4] A new Routemaster is under development and is expected to enter service in early 2012

We're both right.

Plus I remember hearing from my uncle that the city was getting rid of their double decker buses and I remember Cockney saying something about it too.

There should be an internet holiday to mark this occasion.

Thanks, I somehow missed that sentence, too.
