Almost Ready...

After a year of thinking about it, 8 months of talking about it, 3 months of complaining about it, I am about to move to Shanghai. As in 3 days. I'd like to say that it has been a fun and/or easy process, but all I can say is Shanghai better be worth it.

This has been the state of my house for the last month.

As someone who likes to see things in its proper place, it has been driving me crazy. However, it has been a good opportunity to downsize and get rid of things that I thought at one point that I couldn't live without but ended up never using. Funny how that happens.

Sydney is starting to sense something is up --- she wakes up everyday looking for toys that she played with the night before but are no longer there. More and more boxes appear in the house everyday. And Mom is often busy and distracted. As a result, she has been emotional and clingy the last couple of weeks. I look forward to getting to Shanghai and getting us settled in.
