4 Proven Ways to Take the Stress out of Moving!
In every language and in all parts of the world from all times, people say, have said, and will continue to say: Moving is stressful. There is simply no such thing as a stress-free move. Even the simplest and shortest distance move has psychological implications. It can be somewhat stressful just moving your furniture around the home you already have.

Ummm WHAT?!?
Today was a true ummmm WHAT day!! I managed to go into my Mom’s little apartment. I was determined to get some sorting done. First drawer I opened.

Okay UNCLE Already!
Whine alert. When I have a bad run I go all out! I am hoping to get all the bad out, done, gone and clear within the first two weeks of 2018. Over night Mom’s kitty took a turn for the worse. A trip to the vet. Decision made that Miss Kitty should join my Mom. Miss Kitty never did leave my Mom’s sweatshirt. Poor Miss Kitty was truly heart broken. Animals really do feel pain and loss as deeply as we do. Rest In Peace Miss Kitty.

This morning it really hit home how much time I have on my hands now. Alice is in school until 2:30. Mom doesn’t need me anymore. I have the entire morning to……. ummm pack? That’s all?? Just pack?!

Today I am wondering where my energy will come from to start packing again?! I packed a little before Thanksgiving. Then the fires came way to close for comfort so we were in the ‘get ready to evacuate’ area so I hurriedly…
