It is the 30 day deadline today

Wow! The time has flown by faster than I expected. It has gone by so fast that I have had no time to think of what I am missing or how am I really going to pull this off. Some highlights:
1) I did start packing my books so that my husband can mail them to me as soon as he gets back here. I have ten boxes ready to ship (except for my new address).
2) My daughter is registered and has an orientation on August 5. I have a parent orientation on the 11th. She has a test on the 24th and then start of trimester is the 26th.
3) I am taking my dog when I leave now. I don't have the heart to leave him behind. He is, after all, like my son.
4) I have been able to do some research on the internet of the County where I will be moving and the info I need to register the business, etc.
5) I have done apartment rental research and have some places picked for posible lease.
There are other things that I have accomplished, but the most important is to sell all my furniture so that I have some spare money. Here is my prayer to God: "Let me have some money, great health and a positive attitude to survive and thrive in these circumstances. I refuse to participate in the meltdown mentality. I only have eyes for prosperity, happiness and service. Amen".

Nine boxes...

I got nine small boxes, 12x12x12, and I started packing them with my books. It is scary how many books you can pack in a little box. Some of those boxes have 38 books in them. They are all different sizes and because the postage varies, I cannot put other things in those boxes. This is fine with me. By the end of today, I am going to need more boxes.

It is close to lunch time. I need bigger boxes for my clothes. I guess I am going out to the family business to see if they have some boxes that need recycling. This has been a long week. Even though I see changes, I feel like I am standing still. Let's see what the next few days bring.

Got some boxes today

My plan is simple. I am taking my books and my clothes, and my music. The rest I will sell, give away, throw away. Today I bought 9 small boxes to start packing my books. I am finally beginning to see some progress, which is nice, since I am now officially on the last 40 days.

Moving is hard, changing countries is harder. The adventure seems so close now. I am too excited to be upset. I am happy and I accept the challenge.
