5 days!!!

The insanity of it all is hitting. I have five days to finish packing up 23 years of life (either to take or put in storage) and those 23 years have been full of a great many material blessings.

I have been finding random objects I'd forgotten I owned - such as the first Cherished Teddy that I received as a child - "Zachary", a sailor with a boat and now worth a good chunk of money. Over the years, I have received an inordinate number more and, to this day, continue to collect them. Granted, unlike when I was a youngster, other people purchased them for me whereas now, it's all me (and mom when I can con her into coughing up some dough toward the collection ;)).

What I have left to physically pack is my jewelry (for those of you who know me rather well, you'll know this will be a trip in and of itself), my workout gear (also an insane amount of "stuff") and necessary paperwork that is currently dumped on the floor as the furniture holding it is now in the garage ready to go into the Penske truck.

I've been to Mama D's and the Village - so got those checked off my list. I have left to see: Sergey (tonight), Andy (tomorrow), Mikey (Thursday), Sena (hopefully Wednesday), Dan (Wednesday) and hopefully everybody else and their mother's on Friday. I have doctor's appointments to finish up, lunches to have with prior bosses, as well as a good amount of "oh shits" to be said. Nobody ever said I was perfect ;)... except for me of course!

The next few days are going to be swamped, insane and full of excitement and a little bit of saddness. Already I'm trying to figure out when to do what and realizing just how little sleep I am going to get. And we all know what happens when I don't get a whole lot of sleep... uh oh! Watch out folks! Hurricane Morgan is gearing up for landfall. Hopefully, this particular hurricane will be diverted, but best be prepared with provisions - such as chocolate, iced tea and a wall to bang my head on. This should be sufficient.

Until next time...
