*yawn*

No wonder I'm so damn tired.

The good part is that I'll be taking EIGHT DAYS off from work to pack/move/unpack, from Wednesday the 26th through Friday the 5th - which, with weekends, gives me TWELVE DAYS away from work. I haven't taken that much consecutive time off from work since, well, ever.

It sounds like you are well on your way to slaying the dragon. Get much help, take good care of everyone (yourself too), and post pictures of the move to the new homo (when you can catch a breath).

ohhhh! Where's there a fat-girl clothes drop-off thingie? *after* we moved, once I got preggers, I decided I really should clean out all the clothes that I never where anymore but keep moving from one place to another. I've got a box all ready to go with clothes from size 16 to 24 in it and I can't figure out what to do with it. I'd love to get it to plus-size specific folks!

30 boxes! Well done! Mere said you were packing a box a day, but it hasn't been 30 days (uh...it hasn't, right?). You're well one your way.

Taking off work is VERY smart. That'll make the task so much easier.

I am so excited for you too.
