The whirlwind continues

Another hectic night of packing tonight in preparation for the moving company to come and survey what we want to take tomorrow. Michelle is trying to get all her music on the new laptop we bought to take with us, and right now I'm listening to the Essence, so a bit of a downer. We did get our entry clearance, and booked our plane tickets, so everything is a bit more real now. Even so, it wasn't exactly a smooth ride - I wasn't really sure when everything was going to happen. Still, some things are starting to look a little better, and I'm really hoping that when I leave, Michelle won't be left with a big mess to sort out. Some of the hardest decisions are what to take and what to leave - going: the Simon & Schuster Guide to Beer, written by Michael Jackson (not THAT Michael Jackson, this Michael Jackson), and not going: The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. These are not easy decisions at all. Going: J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. (Yes, I'm a bit bookish, and also a stock nerd, in case you didn't already know.)

All that being said, the stress is getting to both Michelle and I. There's limited space for what is staying, and for what is going. Anyone want to buy my car?
