So apparently moving is right up there on the list of incredibly stressful things you'll ever do in your lifetime. It comes in just after death, divorce and illness...
That certainly explains a lot after the week I've had. I have spontaneously broken into tears about 3 times. I have 2 arguments with someone I never argue with. And the rest of the time I float between being anxious, unsure or just plain flat.
It's only looking back on the week now that I realise what an emotional fruit loop I've been. To be honest I don't even know why I've been stressed. It's just picking crap up and putting it down somewhere else...so what's the big deal????
If anyone can let me in on this secret it would be greatly appreciated. in the mean time, I'm off work all next week to do the move and we'll be offline for a while. I'll let you know how it all goes when I get back, as long as I retain all my mental faculties of course.

Nah, don't be so hard on yourself. Moving is totally overwhelming. And I'm the same way. The minute all my stuff is in the new place and I'm all alone in there and it's quiet and I can't even walk to unpack the stuff...well, I've been known to break into a few tears.
Slowly but surely though, that flood subsides (always start with the bathroom- it's small and quick). Then again, I've got a few boxes in a closet that I still haven't opened from when I moved four years ago....
Cheers to new beginnings!
Moving is so stressful, I really feel for you. I know it doesn't seem like it should belong in the same category as all that other awful stuff like divorce but there are so many tiny little pain-in-the-arse things involved in it!
Best of luck to you x
