My day started at 5:00 when my alarm went off. I checked my email as usual and found that we had an application outage at work. It affected our overseas locations. After some discussion I found that the services were restored but there was a communication gap in the procedure. I marked this as a to-do on my agenda and the day began. I had meeting after meeting that consumed 100% of the day. There was very little room for breathing and was a mixture of both work meetings and meetings with movers. I received quotes from all three movers by the end of the day. Their prices were relatively similar but their weight estimates varied by as much as 3K pounds. I don't know if that is normal but it seemed a bit odd for me. As the evening moved on we packed the kitchen and grandma's room where we have our books. I found a lot of Jan's journals. I was so happy to find them and a little sad reading some passages where you could see the challenges she dealt with as her memories returned of such horrific events in her childhood. I just wish I could give her a hug and let her know I love her. It is a silly thing I suppose. I mean, she is in a place now that is filled with love.
Our home is filled with stuff that is going to other people's homes... it will feel much better I think once we get this stuff out of our home. The move date is fast approaching and everything still feels like a dream.
