Moving Day!

It's a wonderful thing when a friend remembers your moving date a sends an uplifting text wishing me luck. The humorous anecdote attached giving me a chuckle really sets the tone for a much improved day than it otherwise would have been. Thank you, friend!! You Rock!
So, we have embarked upon move #13! I will be disassembling my PC after I write this. The packing has commenced. I'm hoping I have all my ducks in a row. All items we don't want packed are carefully stowed in the front room closet with a warning sign on the door. "BEWARE!" "DO NOT PACK IN HERE!" The kids have been rushed off to school amid my mad panic to get every last dish clean before the dirty cereal bowls and coffee cups disappear into the abyss of boxes stacked to the ceiling. All last minute errand items are packed carefully in the car: cable boxes to return, last minute mail to send, goodwill boxes and bags, extra house keys to deliver to the management company, etc.
Tonight will be our last night in this house and I must say I will miss it. This house and neighborhood is my favorite yet. Lodging is set, the trip is planned. Now we await the hurricane at the other end. I anticipate the adventures in claims filing and house hunting! Wish us luck!
