Had a major meltdown this morning! I have been so stressed over getting things done, and so tired I guess it all caught up to me this morning. I was going to Walmart to get some more packing supplies and when I went to tell Cleo goodbye (yes, I tell my cat goodbye when I leave!) I couldn't find her anywhere. She wouldn't come when I called her, didn't make a sound. All I could think of was that she had gotten outside. She likes to sneak out now and then and roll around on the cement of the carport. I knew I hadn't had the basement door open. I hunted for almost an hour trying to find her and the longer I hunted, the more upset I got and the more I cried!! Stupid I know, but I think it was just the perverbial straw. I looked under beds, in cupboards (yes, she can open the doors under the sinks and goes in there sometimes) and behind everything in the house and couldn't find her -- not once but many, many times!! I went outside and called her (I'm sure the neighbors think I'm nuts!) I finally found her curled up INSIDE the covering of the box springs on the twin bed!! It had come loose from the frame and she crawled in there and went to sleep!
Anyway, I felt like an idiot for getting so upset, but I think it helped a little in the end. Got out a lot of frustration!! I only have one more day to pack stuff so the fireman can load it on Tuesday (I want them to do as much as possible and just leave me with the "odds and ends" on Wednesday).
THEN if that wasn't enough, I go out to finally go to Walmart and the truck wouldn't start!! I messed around with it a little and finally it kicked in, but sure had me worried for a while there.
Phyl came over and helped me pack some more. Have my dishes and 90% of the pots/pans packed now. Most of my cooking utensils too. Just have the bathrooms and the closets left to do (besides the little stuff I'm sure I've missed, and my clothes!) I might get it all done by tomorrow night, but I'm not holding my breath!
I absloutely CANNOT believe I'll be leaving here in 5 short days! INCREDIBLE!!

I am tired just reading that. I forgot totally about trying to keep an eye on popper while moving, not easy, He likes to go out for a couple of days at a time, and we knew if he did that we'd have to leave his butt in VA. We finally ended up just putting him in his crate while loading up.
