General factual bulemia right now :)

I'm in the binging part; on Thursday we'll start the purging. Doesn't that paint a lovely picture? ;)

So we're moving back to Seattle from the Raleigh area where we are now. Like, Thursday. Five freaking days. I'm not really sure how I feel about things - I think it's happening so fast I'm getting kind of a ripping off of a bandaid effect - quick and shocking, but without much time to think about the pain (or anything else).

Kev starts his new job on December 3. I have a few days to play when we get there and catch up with some friends and an old boss of mine, and then it's off to find a full-time job. It's insane. Our house hasn't sold yet but we are hopeful it will soon - we've had good feedback so far. We'd also like to get into a house in Washington somewhat soon as well. We won't be able to afford anything like we have here, but at least it'll be a place of our own, and should start appreciating again relatively soon.

Christmas is coming - got main presents for Kevin, his mom, his siblings and their families, and myself. Still have a lot to do. Not sure how we'll pay for everything this year - finances are stretched really tight - but we'll manage. It should get a little easier when I start working again.

We have a showing for like 30 realtors Tuesday morning, and then the movers come on Wednesday and Thursday. We leave Thursday afternoon, so still need to get someone to supervise after we've gone to the airport and find a good reputable place to come after we're gone and do a thorough cleaning of everything.

Adoption stuff is slow, but we might be taking in an 18-year-old if all works out that way. Still in the very beginning stages on that, and Kev wants a little time to think about it as well, understandably.

AND, I'm starting to prepare for my GRE. Hope to take that in late spring or during the summer, but have months of studying to do between now and then.

My mom's still not talking to me. We're on our third month right now. I'm sad she feels the way she does, but I really don't think I could take the extra pressure trying to keep her happy entails right now. But I want to have a better attitude that way.

Last day of church in NC tomorrow. No idea what ward we'll be in in WA. Still don't know where Microsoft is putting us up when we get there, but if push comes to shove we can move in with Kev's parents for now.

Sheesh - when I type it all out (and this is only a partial list, though it's all the big stuff), no wonder I feel like I want to hide my head under a rock for the next six months. How in the world is all this going to come together?

*sigh* I hate stress. Unfortunately, stress seems to love me.
