Once we made the decision to move back home CA - and move before Christmas - my family was immediately sucked into a vortex of paper. House sale documents, school records, medical files, move forms...you get it. It's odd to me in the era of everything-in-an-instant-internet, we still spend hours completing paperwork. And if I'm honest, my handwriting stinks. It really does. If illegible handwriting was the main criteria rather than math or science, I'd have 'Doctor' attached to my name.
I've got several open notes on my phone...things like 'remember to return viola after Winter Orchestra Performance' and 'don't forget extra dog food for the trip.' Those are the easy ones though, because without a doubt I'll remember something crucial and we'll be in Amarillo TX and can do nothing about it. I just keep telling myself, "This is an adventure, enjoy the journey!" (Maybe I'll even believe it at some point.)
A friend texted the other day and asked how I was holding up. I replied, "I had fast food for dinner and just poured myself a giant glass of wine in a paper cup. You tell me."
Countdown to move: 6 days
