The last few weeks...

...have been more stressful than I imagined possible. I knew I was going to have to tackle a project every day this summer if I was going to feel prepared to move. But honestly, I'm starting to question how much longer my shoulders can reside in my ears!

I can't remember anything if I don't write it down -- although that isn't completely new! ;0 Sometimes I go to write something down, and before I even get to my never ending to-do list, I've forgotten what I was going to write down. I've also noticed I've been clenching my jaw...probably a bit of teeth grinding too.

Yesterday, I had some strawberry sorbet after lunch. Seems like a nice dessert, right? It was, but later that afternoon, I went to get something out of the fridge, and I had put the rest of the sorbet in the fridge.  Not such a good place for sorbet, but at least I caught it before it was a mess.

Just a few days ago, I thought I'd make some nachos. Nothing fancy - melted cheddar cheese on some tortilla chips. I put the pan in the oven on broil and then I went to write something down (see first paragraph as to why). I swear it wasn't a minute, but I actually had flames in my oven! I have *never* caught anything on fire in all my years of cooking. Oy vey! (Smoke alarms were averted, and no animals or people were harmed in the making of said nachos.)

I could continue with examples of my brain being too full of things to do, things I'm wondering about, things I'm looking forward to, and people I'm going to miss. But, I must get going on my to-do lists as this adventure is going to begin one week from today.

However, I will leave you with this stunning picture my friend Jill sent me. It's things (and people) like this that make me take a deep breath and know that everything will be fine... even if the sorbet melts. <breathe>
