Moving day

As day one of our move approaches (tomorrow), I feel less and less ready. Why is this turning in to such a headache?

The last time we moved, we were coming all the way from Chicago. Because of our time frame, and the distance we had to cover it was imperative that we be organized, prepared. It was scheduled and orderly. Now that we have 3 days and only 3 miles to travel I am procrastinating, disorganized, and disorderly. Have I cleaned any part of the old apartment? NO. Do I have TONs of laundry to do before then? YES. Are dishes piled up in the sink? YES. Speaking of dishes, have I packed any of those yet? NO. I've even had time to do these things, but because of the circumstances of our move, the pressure has not been turned up yet. It's going to be a mad dash for us to get everything moved, carpets cleaned, paint touched up, etc. before Sunday when we must surrender our keys, and I am starting to realize, a half a day before the move, that maybe, just maybe I should have been more on top of things.

Oh well, things will work out. This I know, but until then - coffee is my friend.
