Om...

I'm trying to remain calm and not get all "Nonnahs" about this, but I am kinda stressing about the moving (packing) sitch. B and I just realized last night that we basically only have one weekend (that would be this one) to pack- since we'll be in Mammoth next weekend, in San Diego the following weekend for S's baby shower, and we have to move the weekend after that! AAAGH! *Breathe*

(Note: I could go on here about how this revelation will also cause me to have even less knitting time than I thought I had to work on the baby shower gift, since I will now need to spend my evenings packing, but I won't. I can't think about that right now.)

I wish I could say something here like, 'At least we don't have a lot of stuff, so it won't be a problem.' But, I can't. We - okay, I - have a lot of stuff. I plan to go through everything and discard as much as I can, but wow, this is not going to be fun. Especially since memories of when we last moved is still fresh in my mind. (Packing and moving = not fun.) *Deep inhale...and exhale...*

I'm sure everything will work out, as it always does, but geez. The next few weeks is going to be a little nuts. But... it will be fine...right? Sure. We'll just start this weekend, and plow through it. Yeah. No problem. (Did that sound convincing?)

Oh, I can sympathize having moved a year ago. The only advice I can give is, it is possible to pack at night. I suggest putting on some music and cracking open a bottle of wine. Speaking from experience here.

Jennifer gives some good advice - the wine will help you be a little less stressed. You'll get it done! Things always look worst before you get started. I liken it to the first day of a new class - the syllabus seems overwhelming. But you do it, bit by bit, and then you're done. "Breathe in, breathe out. Repeat as necessary."
