wow. so much changing, so fast. crazy. for anyone who actually follows the soap opera that tends to be this blog, I am actually for real, no joke, finally MOVING TO MEXICO!! like, for real, made an offer on a rental house, wired money to the movers, they will be here in 1 day to start packing. I am sitting here unable to sleep, kinda exhausted, having done a yard sale for what feels like a month. I have sold almost everything, all my big furniture. its weird not seeing my things in the house. being all committed to this move and all. I am looking at it as an awesome chance to have a new start in a new place. I am waiting to hear about the rental house, but i seem to have found a pretty perfect place. it comes with everything i need, already has utilities on, is 5 minutes from my son’s new school. that makes it good. has a security system, only need to subscribe to the service. It was a tremendous amount of gut wrenching drama to finally get to this point, but it is really happening. I think the S.O. is actually even getting kinda excited too. at least he says so.

I am a little nervous..but mostly not. like, I am more just stressed out about the logistics and cost of everything. i am worn out from schlepping and hauling and all that crap. I walk around with what feels like a constantly sprained foot. it gets so bad sometimes I can’t stand on it. I have been sunburned like I have not in forever. and I mostly just want it DONE. i managed to make a decent amount of money with the sale. not as much as I hoped, but a decent amount. now I am down to the sorting of the last stuff before the movers come. I have one more day and thats it. and I can’t sleep to save my life. ugh. i started to sleep earlier tonight then did my wake up thing and can’t go back to sleep. to busy thinking of too many things. I have just too much to do at this point. I almost feel like getting up and just working. except i know that I will end up falling asleep later, about the time I need to take my dogs to the vet to get their health certificates.

oh well. lets hope I hear from the rental people today and know that i have a house to move into. and that somehow I manage to pull the rest of the crap together for this house to be ready for the movers. I still need to do some shopping last minute for some things, and make several more trips to the dump I am sure. I am trying to sort through what we are keeping and what we are not, to make it as easy as possible for the movers. but wow..it is a lot harder than I thought it would be. and I am totally done with it at this point. unfortunately everything needs to be super organized and inventoried for customs. so I kinda have to keep slugging away. but yeah. it is kinda sucky right now. though I keep telling myself its all good, cause in less than a week I will be in mexico!!! yay me!!! finally my dream coming true!!
