Moving Anxiety

Please excuse the lack of promised updates about the wedding, and lack of updates in general. First of all, we got back from the wedding a day later than expected, because the first leg of our flight back was the same one to Chicago that Matt & Heather were on. Why would their presence mean a day’s delay? Because they had apparently been afflicted with some very bad travel juju for this trip, and managed to have a delayed or, in this case, broken plane for every single leg of their trip both getting to MN and going home. And because the airlines have been cutting back on their flights for cost efficiency, it meant that when they finally got around to officially canceling the flight, there was nothing going back to NC until Monday. We didn’t get home until after 5pm. Bye-bye little vacation day.

Ever since we got back, I have also been experiencing increasing moving anxiety. The idea to move stuff gradually was a good one, in principle, but the effect now is that I feel like we’re not making any real progress, and how are we going to get everything moved this weekend?! I know it will all get done, but it’s  been giving me progressively worse insomnia every night this week. I think I got 5 hours of sleep last night. Hence my lack of creative writing ability and this incredibly boring update.

Fortunately, I think Mark has recruited some people from his office to help move heavy stuff. Given that he says some of the furniture was heavy even to him and Kevin, who is the biggest and strongest person we know, when he moved in, if it was up to just me and Mark to do it, those things just wouldn’t go anywhere. Anybody else out there want to help?
