Moving

Moving!  Its stressful, even when you aren't in charge of EVERYTHING .. maybe that is what makes its this stressful for me, because I am not in control.

So it is official ... our house is under contract.  We had our home inspection on Wednesday and things went very well.  One small exterior fix is needed, and after looking at all the other homes in our subdivision, it seems it was something all builders here skipped.  No big deal, we will get some quotes and get things fixed.  Which means reality has set in, we will be moving in 3 weeks.  We virtually have nothing in place.  Partially because I am not in charge of the move, Luis is. So each and every day I have to question how the process is going .... so far we are working on a list of phone calls he needs to make.  Keep your fingers crossed!

I will start looking up the proper way to introduce your mature cats to new places.  As it seems today, we will be first living in a corporate apartment or possibly a hotel - that is of course pet friendly. We have some pills that we had for Mango in case we had to evacuate for a hurricane at some point.  I am not pro drugging your pet, but at the same time I do not want them stressed out.  Rico will for sure have to have some drugs because he does not travel well at all.

At work, I am in full training mode.  My boss has asked me to take myself out of the day to day activities to see how the girls will do alone.  It is extremely hard to just not do anything to help, its just not who I am.  I spend the day dropping in on surgeries to give a helpful hints on the procedures from an assistants view point.  We have even stayed late after work and practiced certain things on each other so it would take the scary out of the equation.  Things are going rather well so far.  Some of my coworkers do not like change at all and are making things harder than they really need to be at any point in this transition. My boss was doing so well with this, keeping positive and open.  He has been teaching and has really been really awesome with this whole process until Friday.  Literally he came to me to try to figure out a way for me to still work there and live in Dallas.  I really thought he was going to cry and had despair in his voice, which breaks my heart.  I love working there, but there is just no way that I can continue to work there full time and live in Dallas.  I hope this passes and his more positive self shows on Tuesday.

I have been live tweeting during the #LongIslandMedium premier to maybe even get a private reading with her .. it would be awesome!
