By 7pm yesterday I was feeling pretty discouraged...okay, by 4pm I was feeling discouraged. There was still alot to pack and alot to come down and it felt like it was never going to get done. Thankfully my friend Peter was there to keep me motivated (he brought cookies as a bribe). Still with only 2 of us it was a big job. I will admit, Peter did most of the work and I mostly whined. Then at 7:30pm 3 angels appeared. Amazing how much faster things go with 5 people instead of 2. Within an hour they had moved out the majority of the boxes and packed new ones. Thank you first to Peter for all the hard work and encouragement, then Mandy, Jen and Michelle for being my saving grace when I was feeling overwhelmed.
Also a big thank you goes to Mom, Dad, Liz and Jen for the awesome birthday present!
Today is another big day, we have to unload the truck and come back for 1 more load, then take down shelving etc. Even though it's pouring with rain I am optimistic it will get done today!
Thanks again to everyone for their help!

5 days to go and my house is a zoo, this is very unusual for me when I move. I am usually packed a month in advance and the boxes are neatly stacked and we are ready to go on a moments notice. This time round I am no where near packed the boxes have created a maze through the house, the dishes are in a dirty pile on the counter, I can't find my kitchen table and the bathroom is filthy.
Perhaps I am just done with all the change this past year, done with the uncertainty, done with the disruption. I wish I could just go to bed tonight and wake up in my new place. I hate asking for help and I hate people seeing the mess and the dirt that has become my home.
I just keep thinking that in 1 week I will be in my own place...how sweet will that be?
I am in the middle of an 8 day work week ending with moving day and I can't seem to get motivated. Sigh. 1 week.
