Why is thou moody?

I don't know if it is that I don't deal with change... actually, I think I can handle change, it's the transition part. The time that exists between the way it was and the way it will be, that makes me feel so awkward.

I felt the same way in the weeks between the end of my job and my move to DC. This strange sort of anticipation that leaves you feeling unsettled and anxious.

I am in the process of moving, which amplifies the emotions. On top of not feeling 'at home' at any particular place right now, packing is in progress and I have the time-sensitive and complicated task of of the actual move looming in the near future. It has really brought out the 'planner' in me. In fact, I have the whole thing planned out in hour increments... (insert your laugh here). That's right, there is a schedule. I guess it is how I deal with the stress of it all. Everything has to be done within 24 hours and it requires a strategic balance of schedules and resources. I will be sooooo happy when it is over. I will be incredibly relieved to have a HOME. An actual place where I feel welcome!

It is something I always took for granted. Your environment has a significant effect on you. The unsettled nature of my living situation has been eating at me for awhile. With only a week left, I would hope that it wouldn't be having such an effect on my psyche... But, regardless... soon enough... the transition will be complete and with any luck at all, I will be enjoying a new sense of stability and satisfaction.
