A Reprieve

Friday night my man and I had a little stay-cation at a local hotel. It was a really nice little reprieve from all the stress and anxiety. I did not allow myself to think about the move, or work or anything except how nice an evening it was. We picked up some sushi to go, and some goodies from the local farmer's market, and had a lovely little snack-type supper. We watched football and enjoyed each other's company, and some booze ;)

Saturday I took the little one for our last trip to Ulta together. Got our eyebrows done and spent way too much money. Then we went to the company picnic where I was obnoxious with my new (to me) camera. Got to say 'bye' to some folks I don't see much at work anymore, and spend a little more time with my friends.

After the picnic I took a nap (the hotel had feather bedding so I couldn't breathe and thus couldn't sleep) before heading to my friend's house for my official going away party. It was super low-key, which was really nice. Just my friends hanging out and chatting and laughing at the little kids. Nobody cried, which was good. I'm sure the time for that will come soon enough.

Sunday I alternated between cleaning, packing, and sleeping. I sure have been sleeping a lot... I finally got the bathroom cleaned and all of my crap put in the "to pack" pile. I keep noticing things that I'm going to have to buy new when I get my apartment. Like a Swiffer, dishes, towels, bathroom stuff... and then I worry about the timing. If I have the movers load up too soon, I won't have anywhere to put all my stuff before I find an apartment. But if I wait too long I'll be roughing it pretty bad while I wait for my stuff to arrive... What's worse, not getting it in time, or getting it too soon? What are the chances that I'll get it just right? And when is my laptop going to show up?!

Too much to worry about! I'd best just give up and go to bed...
