Let's back up and talk about moving day...

Do you see anything a little odd about this picture?? At first glance it just seems to be a bad picture of a coffee table and curtains... Which it very well could be... I ended up not leaving Saturday, as previously indicated,,, I just couldn't get it together, I kept adding things to the pile that needed to be added to the car,,, then I kept thinking of things I needed to do last minute... I kept counting down based on what time I might leave and when that would get me to Florida...

It got to be about 4:00 and I decided to give it a try,,, rounded up the cats,,, well two of them,,, couldn't find the third... So I decided to take some final pictures,, realizing all of the sudden that this was not the same as when I moved to SC and it would be months before I came back to my home... So I went from room to room snapping pics to capture what I could... and then I found the third cat, Sophie... I laughed out loud when I saw it... She has NEVER done anything like this before,, but how cute is it??

When I went to pick her up, she actually tucked her head in, like a kid playing hide-and-seek... I felt so bad for her! But she came along,, I loaded them up in the car,, and left. Made a stop at the drug store and realized how completely wiped out I was... So I got some take out, went home, unloaded the cats,, and went to bed early...

I ended up leaving about 10:00am on Sunday morning... I had figured it would be about an 8 hour drive... I was wrong! Ended up being about 10.5,, and the youngest cat only cried for the first hour and a half! boy was that a long drive! I got here at 9:30, had to unload the car and then had to be at work by 8:00 the next morning... I wasn't even thinking of Thursday being Christmas,, I was thinking how much I needed a day off!

But I made it,,, again, ventured out like a nomad in search of the next item to sustain life... To me on one hand it seems like no big deal, this is kind of how I have lived my life. But on my last day of work, one of my co-workers was telling me how brave I was. How lucky I was to be able to go where I wanted, when I wanted, and that she hoped I realized what a strong woman I was... It wasn't until them that I realized envy can go both ways... I guess the grass is always greener,,, especially in Florida!
