Packed and Poised

So here I am, surrounded by the 70 carton boxes that contain most of my worldly possessions, but I made sure I'd still be able to sit on my couch and watch TV tonight, take a bubble bath, and sleep in my own bed.

Tomorrow, thankfully, I do not have to go in for jury service. So I can sleep in, direct the movers, and start unpacking.

Stay tuned.

Now Comes the Move

My pre-move organization is now complete; packing is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and the move for the day after that. Then I have the weekend to unpack enough to get by with.

I've informed the post office, my bank, the phone and cable companies, and my housekeeper of the move, and will have many other address changes to achieve. The worst part, I expect, will be looking at my old place once it is all in boxes and then when it is empty. And next worst will probably be looking at my new place all in boxes and then finding all my stuff, finding homes for it, and getting used to conducting my life in the new spaces.

I'll try to focus on the improvements - no stairs to climb, a quiet bedroom in the back of the house, and the ability to retire once the place is fullly rented.

That being said, "My mind's distracted and diffused," and I'm seriously decision-impaired. Normal enough, I suppose. And it should eventually pass.

Excelsior!
