Frazzled thoughts ahead. Proceed with caution.
I shouldn't be surprised but, all of a sudden we have just over two weeks until we move! See, I told myself not to worry too much about getting things done until I came back from Brother's college graduation. After that, I told myself, that's when you'll buckle down and become a productivity machine. Or, you know, I could sit around doing nothing in a state of blissful denial. I chose poorly. I am no stranger to moving and yet, the process overwhelms me each time. Moving raises so many questions. What should I leave out? Do I actually need this anymore? Did we really move all this crap out here just two years ago? What does a bulldozer rental cost?
This move is particularly overwhelming as it's just Boyfriend and I doing the grunt work while I'm working full-time and he's finishing his Master's thesis. Oh, and we're going away for Memorial Day weekend and apparently, we're still only two human beings. Super powers would be great right now, if you know a guy who could hook us up.
Until then, we have called in reinforcements. Brother is currently basking in an unscheduled, post-grad summer. I put a stop to that! He gets here a few days before we head out. In exchange for dinner at our favorite Charlotte restaurant and a little road-trip adventure, he has agreed to fly out, help close down the apartment and drive back with us. His main duties will be as a sanity-saver/assistant dog-wrangler. Not that being alone in the car with a clingy terrier for two days wasn't going to be awesome...thank you, Brother!
Someday, mark my words, I will perfect the moving process. There will be lists and charts and step-by-step directions! I maaaaay be a bit attached to the idea of being in charge, all the time, always. Back to the wild world of cardboard boxes and sharpies- wish me luck!
