Why is moving so hard and....

why am I putting myself through this again? It has been too fast, and now, 16 days before the move, there is a shortage of carton boxes in PR and I can't get my hands on a shipping box in a certain size (so that I don't overpack books) anywhere. What is a girl to do?

So today is a packing day. Why am I sitting in my office writing this message? Because I am wondering what I should pack next. This is a short message. Everything will be great and this is my inspired action. I will be ok and so will everyone around me. Life is wonderful.

Have a great day everyone.

This is week 4, last 27 days

Interesting weekend, this Independence day weekend. I was able to spend some time with my old friends, and with my daughter's friends. I spent some time clearing my office, and I am considering not selling my house, yet.

So, what does this new week have in store for me? First, I have to get more boxes. Need to pack 20 boxes this week to stay on schedule. My daughter needs to get her shots. I need to double check the dog's shots. I need to buy the plane tickets for all four of us and the dog craddle. I have to check the status of my tax return. I need to clear my office desk, take pictures of the furniture I have not sold yet and start a couple of bids for my Barbie doll collection.

I will keep you posted as the time progresses. There are more things to do, but these are the requirements, everything else I get done is bonus material. I am getting more excited every day that goes by. And I get less sleep. That is ok, I will sleep once I am there.

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".
