Moving status update

Well... it is now one month until I'm leaving the US to go back to the UK.
My head's all over the place and I've got so many little things to take care of, at times I feel completely and totally overwhelmed and just want to sleep until October 2nd, then wake up and realize everything's been dealt with and I just gotta jump on the plane and take off. Wishful thinking.

Still... progress is being made. I've had a friend from work over today, she's just moved to the US from Australia and looked through a good amount of the stuff I've been trying to sell. Lucky for me (and as she said, for her too) what I wanted to get rid of, she wanted to buy. My apartment is now even emptier than before and it still doesn't make me sad. Weird. But main thing is, a lot of stuff is off my mind now, I feel a wee bit lighter in my head for knowing I at least don't have to worry about certain things.
I think furniturewise all that's left to get rid of is my dining table with 4 chairs. I'll put that up on Craigslist I'm thinking... see what comes of it. I still have a lot of appliances which nobody seems to want (how can you not want a FOODSAVER??????????) but I'm sure something will come up.
All my Weight Watchers stuff is up on Ebay - I'm sure it'll all get a good price since you can't just buy it anywhere unless you attend the costly meetings.

The movers' rep was here on Thursday and gave me an estimate of about $1700 for shipping the stuff I'm keeping over, which is within my budget.

Other than that... on my "to-do" list is survive the last two days at work (Tuesday and Wednesday), then go to Canada and re-enter the US as a visitor, then get started on my uni project (heaven help me), and that's pretty much it. Sounds simple enough - let's see if it will be! :-)
