MOVING DAY!!


The movers come at four o'clock this afternoon, at which point I will slide out of the office, exchange my suit (who am I kidding, there's a heat advisory, I'm wearing a sleeveless dress and flats) for shorts and a bandanna, and get going!

My life is in complete shambles right now- half of my clothes are at one locale, and the rest are not packed.  However, I made sure to pack my ditty bag and keep it close.  I, who doesn't leave the house sans painted face, have not been wearing makeup because I can't handle an extra layer right now.  However, my makeup is also easily located.   So I may not have sheets, but I will have eyeliner!


To make matters even better, I'm driving my family's mini van packed to the brim with lamps, beddings, kitchen goods and books.  Oh, and wooden chairs.  I can lift all of those things, and am too cheap  frugal and wise enough not to pay others what I can do myself.

Now, y'all might not want to talk to me August 10th, at 3 o'clock in the morning, when I am frantically throwing dishes willy-nilly into the van, trying to get everything moved out.  Not that I've ever done anything like that . . . 

Let the nesting begin!

  9. Just having lived that scenario earlier this week, I wish you luck, my dear. I think I went without make-up for two or three days. Between the heat and dust/dirt, it wasn't worth the effort. Try not to get too overwhelmed and drink plenty of water. And at the end of the day, put your feet up on a box and enjoy a glass of wine.
