Whirlwind

The last few days have just been a whirlwind. My final day of work was Friday and right after work within about 45 minutes of arriving home we then sold my car! I hardly had a moment to process leaving my job of 8 years and then my car to boot!

Then Saturday was our going-away party at our house and we had to get prepared for the party while at the same time we tried to clean out the rest of our house. But it was so worth it because we saw so many great friends. Some we hadn’t seen in ages.

We stayed up until about 2am and then woke up this morning at 7am to start the final clear out including moving my bed to my mom’s.

We are down to the final stretch, but we are just plain exhausted physically, mentally and emotionally. I think in this whirlwind I have felt just about every emotion possible: elation, excitement, anxiousness, nervousness, fear, sadness, loss, anticipation, worry, joy and all over again in waves. In three days I went from full time work with a cell phone, car and home to being jobless, carless, phoneless and sort of homeless!

All our belongings save for 4 pieces of luggage and a couple of carry-ons are now gone! And probably hardest of all, we are leaving all our family and long-time friends. Talk about swirling up some emotions. Because of the short time frame I don’t think I have quite processed it all. And we’re not done yet. I still feel like we are in the middle of it all and I hardly have a moment even to write this. We are in full spin mode right now.

Tomorrow is the day everything changes. The moment we have been waiting for. And maybe by Wednesday we can catch our breath.
