Boxes, Boxes, and more Boxes!

The packing company arrived yesterday to "pack-out" my HHE (household effects).

This whole "pack-out" thing is an adventure in and of itself!  I think if you can survive the initial move, it is supposed to get easier (at least that is what I am told).

I can't believe I leave for Washington DC on Friday! It is probably a good thing, since I don't have a couch, pots, pans, or even a can opener.



So here I am sitting in my empty condo, just trying to come up for air.   It is weird to think that the next time I am going to see all of my "stuff", might be in Australia, or Poland, or Zimbabwe, or . . .

I got to play volleyball tonight and say goodbye to all of my "sisters".  This is all happening so fast and so slow all at the same time.  I know that doesn't make any sense, but that is how it feels.

Now I just have one more day to make final preparations.  Paperwork . . . check, suits . . . check, apartment in  DC . . .check, excitement and a positive attitude about starting this journey . . . check!
