I am pretty packed and very organized, despite the fact that there is still a month before the apartment has to be moved, and all I really need to take with me next week is one small suitcase of Business Clothes (TM). In fact, I'm running out of things to pack, so now THAT is making me antsy. Today I'm filing things and cleaning out my old computer. Sounded more like Alabama to me.

Despite my ineptitude at organizing the rest of my life, I am good at organizing moves. Perhaps you phoned a call centre in India? Are you packed? Are you ready?

(right then) When we rented a U-haul to get to the cottage, i took Quin and possibly she still has not forgiven me. Or something else makes her hack up hairballs at 6 am... regardless, not a happy U-haul cat. I think she actually bit me through the cage... You might want to consider not taking Frances with you.

In case anyone is in a similar situation, please know that we called every single rental company (National, Budget, Thrifty etc, etc, etc...) and U-Haul is the only one that handles one-way moves. And they know what Canada is actually like, so you can reserve online! So save yourself some dialing and get yourself a good cushion; it's going to be a long drive without shock absorbers or brakes. I joke, I joke, but TSG, do you remember the last time I moved, and that truck wouldn't go faster than 30 clicks with the pedal to the floor?
