The stress is kicking in...

This entire move, I have tried to be positive and not focus on the stressfulness of moving to a different continent, but today it all hit me.  Hard.  I have stuff in storage in Indiana that I need to get moved to Illinois and for over a week, the movers haven't been able to "find" us in their system, which means that we haven't been able to schedule our move.  I have been living in our house with no furniture for a week, and Joel and I have been sleeping on an air mattress, which really means that there hasn't been much peaceful sleeping.  I don't have my things, I don't have my car, and I still haven't gotten even one phone call concerning a job. 

We are rescuing another sweet pug to be picked up after we arrive, and I want to be more excited but I am just stressed with the living conditions.  On top of all of that, I am getting my application together to apply for my Master's Degree, which is due 1 July, and I haven't even been able to give it the attention it deserves.  It was nice having that break yesterday with our trip, but I think that is when it hit me how stressed I really am!  Once it was over, of course.  I have to keep telling myself, less than two weeks and I will be in the states and it will all be ok.  I just need a sanity check (or two) before then.

Oh man. we're about to be in the same boat. I actually just had a mini freak out thinking about living in an empty house with no furniture for about a month while our stuff is en route to Italy. Hoping you get some rest!
