Moving Day!

After a furious weekend of shoving things into boxes, moving day has arrived.  I was tempted to say "finally arrived", but to be honest, the weeks went by so fast I can't believe moving day is here already!

I'm enjoying my final day at work - cutting my sister's wedding invitations on the office paper cutter, surfing the Internet, generally feeling invincible - while Nick is at home to ensure that the movers don't take anything meant to be left behind and throwing those few last-minute things into boxes.  I certainly feel that there hasn't been much time to process the gravity of what we are doing in the midst of all the chaos, and therefore to date I've been fairly emotionless about the whole thing, but today I'm feeling a bit of melancholy.  I'm trying not to think about it too much because getting emotional at this point will just further exhaust me.  Getting on the plane tomorrow will be such an immense relief because the moving out process will be complete and there will be a few days of relaxation before I have to get very active in my job search.  I suspect I'll use a day or two of those relaxation days to contemplate this whole situation, probably have a good cry of both sadness at leaving Toronto and relief at the fact that the move out is done.

Anyway, most of our stuff should be on a truck by now, so it's certainly too late to undo this whole idea.  Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!
