alive

So [livejournal.com profile] brickhousewench gave me a push that I should post periodically.

Let's see I'm alive. The house seems to be moving forward *knock on wood* We got our morgatge committment and closing is set for the 18th. Still not feeling relaxed until we have keys in hand, but you know there's that.

Packing. My life is full of boxes, piles, packing tape. O.O I don't do super well with massive, overwhelming projects...just trying to slowly chip away at it. We have until the 12th of April until we have to be out of the apartment, so that leaves us time to paint, clean, move in then paint clean and leave the apt.

Work is still fabulous, we're down a doctor at the moment as he's overseas starting health clinics in a few countries. I know they started in Cambodia but I didn't get more than that. So that leaves the remaining ones extra busy. We're also desperately hiring another nurse, should anyone know an RN looking for a job in pediatric primary care.

Anyway so all in all overwhelmed, forgetting things, tired but finally inching out of my funk.

Oh, I've been off FB, so you did find a house! Yay!!!!

My favorite cleaning blog (UnF*** Your Habitat) has some sane advice for moving (she likes salty words so probably NSFW). Basically what you’re already doing. The only sane way to tackle a big project is to take baby steps, tiny bites, but keep on working at it and don’t give up. Also, remember to stop every now and then and take a break, and pat yourself on the back for everything you’ve accomplished already.

Go you! \o/

Moving is the WORST. It's 5 years later and we still haven't hung all our pictures. :P

Good luck with it, I found listening to music or audiobooks really helped me get it done.

Hang in there! Moving is so stressful! I'll be sending lots of good thoughts your way for the 18th.
