Hi Ho, It's Off To Work, I Finally Go

It's Sunday and I feel weird. I've been so busy since I've been back and feel like I haven't had a minute to even relax and now I actually have a job to go to on Monday. Well, I don't have anywhere to go per se as I'm working from home this week and the next, but still, I have stuff to do. It's so odd to have been in limbo for so long, now everything is coming at one time and super fast. The fact that I may no longer live in my house in two weeks is really freaking me out. I really hope it all works out because I'm very ready to move on with my life. I'm very excited about the new city and the new lifestyle. I'm actually practically peeing my pants over not having to mow the damn lawn anymore. Especially in this lovely 90+ weather. Summer has finally arrived and it's not letting go. Yesterday I was out mowing and when I was done I was laying on the deck trying to catch my breathe (damn asthma) when I look over and see that I've apparently had an audience. My two cats were both laying in front of the sliding doors watching me. They were probably taking bets to see if I would trip and fall while mowing or if I would pass out. Luckily to say, neither happened.

I have to go to the UK for two weeks. How on earth am I going to pack for 2 weeks these days? I'm going to be going all over the place, not staying in one place for the two weeks...I really don't want to be schlepping a huge monster around, especially if I have to travel via train. It's even more difficult as the Brits dress much "smarter" than we do...so it's not as if I can get away with really casual clothes. Usually there aren't irons and ironing boards in the rooms, so you have to send clothes out to be laundered. Guys have it a lot easier...a couple pairs of khakis and some polo shirts and you are all set. Girls have it more difficult with "business casual" or "business formal" dress.

Shoes...ugh. I have no idea which ones to pack and then having to keep my house in "show mode" doesn't make it any easier. Though I'm not sure it will be any easier if all my "stuff" is in storage should the sale of my house go through. ARGH. Too much too soon and too fast!
