What’s the name of the football team in Green Bay?

No, sorry, not another football post. The time is fast approaching when we get possession of the new house. Friday at noon - slightly less than 3 days from now. Last night, we packed up some of the kitchen — stuff that wasn’t likely to see service in the next week or so. It’s tough to move. Stressful, tiring, all of that stuff. This is the first time that I think I’m going to really miss the old place though. As an adult anyway — I missed Togo when we moved away from there too, I suppose. Moving out of Mom and Dad’s was a gradual thing, moving out of the apartment was a happy thing, because we were going to a nicer place, nicer neighbourhood, less rent. Moving out of that basement suite was exciting, because we were buying our first house. This move is a little different somehow. We’ve been in this house for a long time, so we’ve made some memories there. I suspect William is going to have some troubles adjusting for a bit too. We’ll see though.

After doing the packing, I kind of just crashed on the couch, and slept until Erin forced me to get up and go to bed. I think the last couple of months of going to bed too late, and getting up too early finally caught up to me. That, and the cold that I seem to have picked up. I think tonight will probably look a lot like last night - pack some, then collapse somewhere and fall asleep.

William helped pack too, which was kind of fun. He really just liked putting newspaper into the box, and seemed a little bothered by the fact that we were putting things from the cupboard into the box - he kept wanting us to put stuff “away” instead. The next week should be an interesting one.
