anotheranonMove day is tomorrow. Still things to pack, but mostly (MOSTLY) done.
D. is less anxious than I am because he's moved so much; for me it's like pre-travel anxiety times 10: all the fears of forgetting/breaking/losing something plus the knowledge that I can't go back, ever (and I really can't - management is gutting our current place as soon as we're out).
Maybe that it's because I've moved so few times, but I simply don't REMEMBER what the last time was like. Do clothes go in boxes, suitcases, or both? Did we hand-carry fragile or awkward things ourselves (did we even have buffer time in which to do so) last time? How long does all this take? Don't know if it's thyroidiness or moving being such a PITA that I've blocked all memories of it, but it's like I'm doing much of this for the first time.
I KNOW this is the first time I've moved with the cats. It shouldn't be awful as it's not far but stressed cats tend to get lost or destroy things, and a neighbor-cat that evidently lingers around the house isn't likely to help the situation. We're going over early tomorrow with them to situate them in a bathroom so they won't accidentally run out in the chaos of loading the truck.
Back to it...
