Two weeks and counting…
On August 28th, a truck will come and take all of my stuff away, to go to California. It seems unreal, somehow, that it will happen quite so soon. But the date is approaching at a rapid pace.
I’m in my standard “moving is chaos” challenging place. I get restless, have insomnia, and indigestion, among other things. It’s stressful to move, and it’s hard for me to feel grounded and at peace with all of it going on, even though it’s all really under control.
For me, this emotional state is familiar, having moved so much in the last few years. This time, I’m just trying to be present with it, and accept it, instead of wishing it would go away (because, of course, it won’t.) It will be likely more than a month before I have a place to live, and can begin to unpack, so I will have this internally (as well as externally) chaotic place to live with for a while yet.
All of that said, I’m excited about the move. I’m starting to already make plans to do things when I arrive, and I’m excited about all of the possibilities. So, just to live through the chaos…

Thanks, Sue. It would be great to hang out when I arrive!
I’ve moved far too much in the last few years. I’m ready to settle in for a while…
