Getting closer

Things are picking up pace now.
It has been coming for so long now, but has been too far away to actually DO something. Now it is just close enough to put things away, give things away and pack them up. It is almost a relief to actually start doing something in the name of leaving.
We are starting to put things into the trailer. Finally I am getting an idea of the reality of space we actually have.
Little Miss keeps asking where HER table is and Her couch etc. She doesnt trust us at the moment. Every time we leave the house she is taking an unprecidented amount of stuff with her. Teddies, pillows, blankets, books, you know, all the important stuff.
We have been talking about the new house and what it will be like.
Although it is all specualtion. We have never been there.
It seems weird to be pulling up stumps and moving to a place we havent even seen before. Do people do that these days?
There is so much stuff we can leave behind. I think I will adopt the minimalist attitude when we get up there. Or perhaps now would be a more appropriate time.
I have learnt a bit about myself with this transition.
In the "absolutely must keep" pile, 3/4s of it is made up of books. The other 1/4 is trinkets and shiney stuff, mostly covered in glitter. Hmmm throw shiney thing at snake? Save glittery thing from cyclone? Well I dont care really. I will totter on my heals, saving cheep shiny s#!t in any emergency. Just watch me.
Oh well. 10 days to go. Not that I am counting. All right I am! Bring it ON!!!
