Jason and Elise are on their way here. They've kindly offered to help us finish packing and getting ready for tomorrow. It's been a pretty rough week, and not as productive as I'd hoped. I've had it up to [here] with hurdles and strange complications. (Policies that may seem obvious to people who do this every day, but don't take the time to ( Read more... )

Em puts it well: here.

Lots going on with the move.  Trying to get it all sorted and ready to go.  Less than TWO DAYS 'til we're in there.  (It's been a hellishly rough week, and I'm hoping for a real BIG blissful pay-off in the end!)
