Countdown to moving day: just trying to keep up. Here's where we're at... more or less.
Cat taken to vet to check on health and order a sedative as she's a carry-on: don't need a sedative as vet recommends human gravol to keep her calm. Vet also recommends monstrous dental cleaning and reconstructive work on cat's broken and infected tooth. 24 hours later: cat is recovering nicely with the sweetest breath she's had in years (which could clear a room before) and WackyMummy wallet is $400 lighter. Consensus: WackyMummy is the worst cat mummy ever.
Crap we own that we're keeping: packed and shipped.
Crap we own that we're packing to take on the plane: packed and repacked and re-organized and laying all over the house waiting for the final countdown to get our butts (all three of them) to the plane.
Crap we own that we're trying to get rid of: um... help?
Days left until we haul our crap outta here: (crickets chirping)
Summary -- I still have to sell some stuff, give the rest away, reorganize the last of our stuff, and then clean our (old) house top to bottom. Before getting on the plane. To a house we do not yet own.
Please excuse me while my head explodes.
But...
But there's also this... this has been on my mind as we prepare to go... the friends we (finally) made and will be leaving behind. I can only speak for myself and (being all sentimental and stuff) have to say: the distance separates, but the love and friendship will stay with me and my boy, and we will remember.
Thinking of you guys... hang in there :) You can do it!
