Out of our apartment, the last two days

Well, we're out of our apartment. I feel like I am going through some sort of test, having to go through all sorts of hurdles and difficulties, only that I've forgotten I signed up for this test. I keep telling myself, I'm almost there, just a little bit more, just a few more days.

We had to stay until 2am at our apartment cleaning it. For a small apartment (500 sq ft) we had a massive amount of stuff in there. And our storage unit is packed (10x10ft). Let's hope there is no earthquake in the next year. So it took awhile to get everything moved out. Thankfully we had some help moving, and a few people helped with some cleaning or we would have been there until 4am.

I'm exhausted. I want to go on vacation. We arrive in Johannesburg Saturday evening and the following evening our training starts for 2 weeks. But the schedule doesn't sound too hectic, so I'll relax then. And I can relax on the 18+ hour flight from Atlanta to JHB. Jared says I can get stuff done now and relax at the same time. I'm sure he is right, I know he is right, but I am still a bit frantic. A lot less than I would normally be though.

So now the two last days...time for finishing packing our bags for the trip, run a few errands, throw the last few things in the storage unit and spend time with my folks who just got back from a 3 month trip across the country and back. We can do it, we will do it and enjoy it too.
