Maintaining Sanity Is Not as Easy as it Sounds!

The additions to the ‘list’ of MUST DO items seems to be accelerating at a rate 2.78x faster than the completions!  Right now it’s a complete balance of mental exercise and physical work, which is probably a great combination, or else I’d not sleep at night!

Backwards planning:  Looks like launch date is first week in October…..(the sooner you get there, the sooner you finish, eh?)  Packers and movers, around Sept. 18-26.  House goes live on the market, 5 DAYS from now……..no pressure, take all the time you need…..  

And in between all of that, there are five billion (with a ‘B’) things to do (all of them RIGHT NOW!) ….. like normal things you do for moving.  Except you don’t know where you are landing.  And you can only take a portion of your ‘stuff.’  And you don’t know what to take because you don’t know the size of your next abode (SMALL).

And you must wade through a mountain of relocation paperwork, plan to store half of your household (which half?  the left half? the bottom half?), sell cars, get Visas, talk to Ernst & Young re foreign tax implications and complexities (getting paid in both Euros AND dollars),  hotel arrangements here AND there, flight arrangements, apartment search, and a myriad of questions — internet? cell phones? transformers for 110v appliances?  I’m not going without a hairdryer.  🙂

I just want to walk off and go shopping, actually.  Fiddle-dee-dee, Rhett.

More soon.  This is my to-do list creeping up on me right now…… 

(You can hear my scream here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdANHr1oaZc) A little weird, I know, but it’s that kind of a day.  🙂

Philippians 2:14-16 New International  ¹⁴ Do everything without grumbling or arguing, ¹⁵ so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”^[a] Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky ¹⁶ as you hold firmly to the word of life.
