I've only been gone a week, right? Are you moving back to FL again? My DH laughed at me for carrying on my bag to this trip but I didn't care! Sendinghugs and hoping all is well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-651532 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 23:53:29 +0000 Aida 651532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Malina that's rough! Did you scold your boss for procrastinating? I am glad to hear you're starting to get things sorted, a short move without concrete plans sounds like waaaaay too much stress. Also glad kitty gets to fly with you, hope that goes smoothly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-651349 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:01:19 +0000 Victoria 651349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, dear, sounds like you have your hands full. I had to move to a different state few years back when my exhusband was offered a job in CA. We took our cat(RIP) in the carrier and she wasn't happy. she yoyled through the whole trip and she sounded as if she was being murdered. Poor thing.. That was a trying experience for everyone. I hope that everything goes through without a hitch for you though! Sending good wishes your way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-651251 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 18:26:25 +0000 Meredith1953 651251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know you'll come through it all with "flying colors" and I'm going to remember that cute term "medicinal Chardonnay". Apply as needed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-651225 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 17:37:23 +0000 Mo 651225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks for the commisseration and positive vibes!! I found a shuttle that will take kitty (yay!) and also a friend that can take me if my flight is later in the week.<br /> Still waiting on word of what exact day they can get the truck, so I can go ahead and book my flight. I'll feel so much better when I have that taken care of! I still work Sat and Sun at the golf course and hope to fly out Tue or Wed.<br /> I feel better today now that I've processed it all a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-651136 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:51:52 +0000 Jonesy 651136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man, what a rotten break!! Of course you would feel super stressed out! Who wouldn't in this situation? Chardonnay makes perfect sense to me. I hope the re-location goes smoothly, with a minimum of bumps in the road. Your sense of humor still shines through :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-651131 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:46:10 +0000 Carole 651131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes! So sorry you are experiencing such a rough patch. A mantra I recite at times like this, "this too shall pass" and "all things work out for the best". Big hug! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-651126 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:41:15 +0000 biscuitsmom 651126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a LOT to be going thru Hope all goes smoothly for you and the kitty! I would get a small amount of catnip to give to the kitty to soothe it before/during the flight. It can really calm their nerves </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650998 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:12:30 +0000 christieanne 650998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also wondering if they had kitty chardonnay? I don't like to drive with mine much less fly. You are a good sport (and good kitty mom obviously). </p> <p>Hang in there - I always check my bags and have never had one not make it. You will feel better once things are settled in new place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650996 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:11:44 +0000 Angie 650996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stressful indeed :(</p> <p>But you are an organized and capable lady, which counts for a lot! My fingers are crossed that your baggage arrives safely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650993 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:07:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 650993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my! I think by now I'd be asking for intravenous medicinal chardonnay! Seriously Mo, I don't know how you do it. And how frustrating that your boss should call now about work. But you're a trooper and it will all work out - just focus on getting yourself and kitties to FL and the rest will be ok. I don't suppose kitties can have chardonnay too (lol)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650935 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 13:19:45 +0000 Suz 650935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. That is so frustrating!! You are super organized, but whew!! I hope it all goes well for you. It seems such a shame that you're always having to pick up and leave this way. I know it must be really tough. Hang in there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650871 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:11:09 +0000 Janet 650871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes, that sounds so stressful -- I think medicinal Chardonnay is fully warranted!</p> <p>Sometimes I think it would be appealing to live in two very different places/climates, and then I think about the logistics and practicalities, and see what you're going through and think I wouldn't like it so much after all. I don't do chaos well. I don't even like having my wardrobes or belongings split up among two different closets, much less two different time zones! </p> <p>I hope all goes as well as it possibly can. Wish there were some way I could help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650857 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 11:30:56 +0000 Anonymous 650857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are such a trooper. Look at this, you got the technique down pat. Don't stress about the bag. The chances it of getting lost are very slim. I fly at least once a month, sometimes more often, and never had a problem. (((Knocking on wood))). </p> <p>I am so happy kitty is by your side. I feel so bad when you have to "check in " your pet, oh no!</p> <p>You never know what great things are waiting for you back in FL. Good luck to you both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650819 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 09:40:33 +0000 Louise 650819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you get to take kitty as a carry on, it always makes me sad when they have to go in the hold they must be so scared. I know I know you're stressing and I'm fussing about the cat sorry!! hope you have a safe trip and get you ride to the airport sorted (((hugs))) x</p> <p>Ps hope kitty's not a yowler, whenever I put Tigger in a travelling basket for vets trips he yowls and it sounds like someone is throttling him I get some very funny looks and he'd certainly p**s off a plane full of people x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650815 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 08:52:49 +0000 ButterflyLady 650815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sending lots of *hugs* for you and kitty (I think my cat would have conniptions if I took him on a plane!) and I, like lyn, have never lost luggage when flying (also desperately touching wood!).</p> <p>I think the medicinal Chardonnay is entirely appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650804 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 06:37:04 +0000 lyn* 650804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, that's so much stress for you, Mo! *hugs* </p> <p>I hope you have a pleasant move though - if it helps; I've never lost a bag on an airplane and I am a poor bag labeller! *touch wood* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650793 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 05:48:24 +0000 Scarlet 650793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, so sorry that you are going through so much turmoil! I have moved many times, sometimes drastic moves, even done my own U-turns. Just to say I intensely hate the process and really feel for you. Standing in awe over here by how organized you are though. I hope everything gets sorted out soon. At least it sounds like you and the BF are good at supporting and being kind to each other through the stressful times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650784 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 05:30:13 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 650784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes, TWO cats?? Poor thing, and I don't mean the cats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650781 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 05:18:14 +0000 rae 650781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stress is going around the forum lately! Whew, poor Mo!</p> <p>You have got a great many things sorted already, so now you can just focus on getting to the airport with kitty, yes? You are a pro at this; it will all be fine - they carry your medicine on the airplane, too, if you need it. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650775 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 05:00:23 +0000 Deborah 650775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo this must all be so frustrating for you. I am sorry. And Im sorry but i think I have missed something... I too thought you had just relocated. Can you fill me in, or I might just check back your recent posts.</p> <p>EDIT Just found your post from the other day! My goodness, you are amazing. I admire your ability to go with the flow. Thinking of you as you make the move back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650771 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 04:55:40 +0000 Nadya 650771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sending good thoughts your way a peaceful journey for you and kitty. So sorry for all your frustrations; I hope some good surprises are waiting for you in Florida to balance them out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650767 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 04:32:12 +0000 AJ 650767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait...you're moving back to Florida? It seems like you just got to Tahoe. Man, time flies by fast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650764 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 04:15:03 +0000 Mo 650764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, I still can't believe the irony myself. Life can be something!<br /> Andrea, last time I had 2 cats (and just me) flying about 8 years ago. When they asked me to take them out of the carriers to go through the metal detector I about lost my wits. Not to mention carrying 25 pounds worth of feline around lol.<br /> At least dogs have leashes, and obey commands a bit better than kitties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650763 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 04:10:22 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 650763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>((hugs))</p> <p>I don't know about you, but I find flying with pets stressful. Regan and I are flying into Dulles in July. Eeeek! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650758 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 03:57:20 +0000 goldenpig 650758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look like an organized packer and your travel uniform looks comfy and stylish. I'm sorry things are so stressful. How ironic that your boss calls now, when you're already leaving. I'm sorry. :(<br /> Hope you have a safe flight with kitty and that things calm down soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-stressssssss#post-650755 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 03:53:34 +0000 Mo 650755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The move is beginning to exhaust us both. Without getting into too long a story, the BF thought we was not getting the moving expenses compensation he'd agreed upon. This on his birthday no less! We are tentatively shipping the truck and flying me and kitty out within about a week. I have packed up summer clothes and a very light amount of housewares (one frying pan, one coffee cup, one wine glass, 2 knives and some odd bowls and salad plates that don't match our current set) and 3 towels, bathmats, and bare minimum bathroom grooming stuff.<br /> Because I'm flying with kitty, he is my carry on. I have to check everything but my purse! So I will be with literally the clothes on my back if they lose my bag. The truck will take a couple weeks to ship, so none of those items will be at my disposal either. Fingers crossed the bag comes through with no crazy Una moments! For a clothes lover it's a scary thing to think you might be without for days or weeks!<br /> But . . . . here's the kicker. My old boss from the Pub called TODAY to offer summer shifts. Yep, we could have avoided FL all together. ARGH! And he had been planning to call us for about 2 weeks but kept getting sidetracked and too busy and what not. I can't even believe it. So that was my over the top moment today. I resorted to emergency medicinal Chardonnay at 2:30 in the afternoon. Sigh.<br /> Now I just have to figure out how to get me and kitty to the airport since the shuttle won't let pets aboard and my mom is heading out of town for a road trip. The fun just keeps coming :D<br /> Have I mentioned my medicinal wine?!?! </p> <p>(that's why I haven't been on much)<br /> pic 1 is the silly acrylic things we'll use as dressers, and assorted odds and ends to go in the back of the truck. pic 2 is my small bag I'm checking and my plane outfit. It's hard to make out, but it's my new convertible jacket like Rae's with my ink blue tunic dress over the Hue cargo leggings. Blue Kickers ankle boots for airport running. It's pretty matchy matchy, but I'm that kind of gal. </p>
