Moving freaking sucks. We just "finished" up moving from our luxurious wonderful dream-like Uptown apartment, which has been a work in progress all week, into our parent's houses. My mom and I have been packing up the place this past week, and yesterday and today were spent taking apart bedroom furniture, finding places for everything, and staring aimlessly at the small piles of CRAP that seemed to permeate our entire apartment that had no place to go. There were times I was so overwhelmed with everything that I wanted to throw it all out the window and jump out after it.
I guess the hard part about this particular move is trying to categorize everything into three groups: Storage, Pack for Ireland, and Pack for Now But Won't Take to Ireland. And then we have to condense it down to either fit in our parent's attics or to store in one room at each house while we live there for the next 3 weeks. UUGGGHHH!!! Stress! I'm being whiny but I don't care. I had a crappy weekend and two sleepless nights so I'll whine if I want to.
We shipped a TON of stuff to Ireland a couple of weeks ago. Drew's company will help us ship it, by sea, and sea shipments take about 8 weeks to get there. We had to make several decisions as to what we want to take, what is wise and not wise to take, what we'll have room for, what will already be furnished, etc.
A look at the pile of things we shipped. |
Our stuff should hopefully be arriving in Ireland by mid-July, when we have our tiny apartment, and then we'll get to figure out what to do with everything all over again.
I have to keep reminding myself that though it might be stressful and overwhelming right now, it's all for good reason and will hopefully be worth it.
