I just had to switch the time zone on my laptop from Eastern to
Pacific.
It's real.
The last few days have been an absolute whirlwind. Packing.
Cleaning. Professionals coming in to pack more, Nancy taking the
kids. Jason arriving from Seattle so that Jonathan would have company on
the drive. City inspector coming to sign off on the house as a rental.
Emptying the fridge and freezer. Movers coming to take furniture
and boxes. Freon leak in the air conditioner. Jonathan and Jason
leaving, Xander crying. Nicole taking the kids when the movers started
getting serious. Talking to our renters. Nancy coming to drive us
to the airport. Mom flying in from Long Beach to sit at the gate for
three hours, then coming outside so she could go through security and fly back
with me, the kids and two cats. Flying with exhausted but not sleeping
children and meowing unhappy cats. Arriving. Going to bed at 1am
Pacific Time, 4am for us.
Jet lag
Next up: appointments with the chiropractor, optometrist, hair
stylist, dentist, and then services at my home temple. Jonathan is
keeping tabs on the Cincinnati house while on the road: Molly Maids, carpet
cleaning, handyman to fix our broken AC, etc.
After that: SACRAMENTO!

I am exhausted reading this list. You said it very well. I'm tempted to think that it is not quite real just yet. You're still on such a high with everything. This place is not real yet for me. I don't think it will until just before we leave. "Real" hits when you get to routine again. I find that sometimes, the most travel is done once you stop moving and have a moment to be still. Miss you!

Phew! Hang in there darlin! All this change will be over soon - then just adjusting to the new life! Hugs!
Oh I'm sorry, I was hoping they would sleep on the plane for you! :-( It'll settle down soon!
Rachael, I think you're absolutely right. I want to cut and paste what you said - there's a sermon in that blog comment, I'm sure of it!
Holly, I so appreciated your call.. I'll call back once things settle.
And MamaNightsong... I was too! LOL you did your best! Thanks for all the good wishes. :)
Moving is such a rollercoaster! It was great seeing you on Friday night. It was such a lovely, lovely warm joyous service!
You and Miriam are both (already) amazing Rabbis.
