moving post of whine

[flea]

Our stuff is supposed to come tomorrow, in the 8-9am window. (When they packed us, 8-9 window meant arrival on foot at 10:15, and arrival of truck past 11, so I will not be holding my breath tomorrow.)

I should be happy! I'll be able to cook things requiring more than 1 saucepan and 1 baking pan! I'll have weather-appropriate clothing! (I packed the suitcase for fall, and got summer.) I'll have a decent bed!

I'm miserable. I don't want to move here. Oops, I guess we sort of already did. I want to live in MY house, with MY yard, and MY neighbors, and MY school. Not all this new stuff. Bringing the actual stuff tomorrow means we actually live here. Don' wanna!

(And we're lucky, good permanent federal job, this economy, yadda yadda. Which makes my whininess about moving to a wealthy neighborhood with excellent public schools insufferable.)

Eh, it doesn't sound like you're whining about the place, but about the New. It's hard! (As you know: one of the top five or whatever life stressors.) It will get better. And then it will be fine, and then it will be good! But for now it's just hard.

I have a job opportunity that would be, um...it would be pretty much the job I've always wanted, working for someone I really like. It would also mean moving from here. I'm writing the application tomorrow (C. tells me I'm not getting out of applying for this one) but it's not without a lot of misgivings.

I always hate every move for at least 2-3 months. I hope the new becomes your home and your places soon.

Moving sucks, no matter what!

Not insufferable. Moving is a huge stress. Hope you begin to feel better soon.
