My stress levels are so high right now. You can almost see it, a sort of high sheen surrounding my head, like a polished aluminum shell of anxiety.
Moving x-xountry always does this. Juggling work deadlines, making sure checks come in on time, packing, dealing with plane tickets, movers, cats on the plane, turning off utilities, turning them on, cleaning, finding boxes, shipping computers, etc. It all gets to be so much and the fact I am moving 3000 miles instead of just 3 blocks is what kills me. But I just keep checking things off the list, and bit my bit I chill out.
Next week, when I am arriving on the redeye at JFK with a yowling cat, no sleep or food in me, and off to an empty apartment with only a few items in my backpack, I will have reached my stress summit, and thankfully, it will be all downhill from there.
So many people here I owe emails to, Loe, Molly, Sophie, Mandarin, and a lot of other people. Sorry I dropped off the face of the planet, but its been a REALLY shitty last few months.
Good times ahead.
