Small Things

Packing:Day 1

All I want to do is sit and read my new book, Nineteen Minutes, by Jodi Picoult. Instead I am trying to organize all the stuff we need to move in our own car before the packers wrap it in paper and stuff it into boxes. Wonder just how bad off things would get if I snuck off somewhere while Katy naps?

The sleep deprivation thing is getting to be interesting, too.

Countdown to Packers arrival

There are 5 days left til the packers come to put us in boxes again. I began stressing last week, had a couple of teary breakdowns after which I vowed to chill out. If my messy house gets packed messy, oh well. But then I imagine the unpacking on the other end of this move and spiral myself up to another stressed out teary breakdown.

I am currently chilling for maybe 5 more minutes with this cup of tea, before I jump up in another stressed out frenzy of sorting clutter. Which, in my house, is like sweeping sand on the beach.
