It sounds like your move several states away is doing better than my move of only thirty miles. I thought I'd take advantage of the fact that I don't have to hurry to get out of the old place by moving a little bit at a time, but it still seems really overwhelming. My movers aren't scheduled until a couple days after your birthday (a week before mine), and they charge by the hour so I've been trying to get everything small enough to fit in a car moved ahead of time. I've been bringing a carload to work every day and dropping it at the new house, and it's been taking forever! I have too much stuff and it's still not all packed. Tomorrow I'm getting my car inspected so I can transfer the registration to the new address. I need to talk to the cable company to get my internet set up in the new place, or I'll lose my BigCloset lifeline. Yesterday, I finally found some curtains that I liked, and I'm still worn out from getting some new furniture on Saturday. (My new space is bigger than my old space, so I needed a bunch of things to fill it.) Setting up a new house is a heck of a lot of work!
