OT-Overwhelmed with all the things to be done before moving across!!!!

ramya

With less then 1 month left to shift to a new country all together I am now panicking with amount of things left to do?

With DH already in Norway all the things have to be done alone!!! I have already started my packing. Gone are most of my old tees(short tees which were so in here), have replaced them with some inexpensive new ones mostly as basics.

Purchased some new jackets, sweaters, cardigans(had none thanks to weather in India).

Cleaned up my handbag collection, purged most, brought it down to 5, with the opinion if i need more will buy it in Norway!!!!

Shoes - brought a few closed shoes. all i had were sandals as its tooooo warm to wear closed shoes in India most of the time. Kept my white Puma sneakers for now. Fussy feet would need it if I have to walk around a lot.

With this I have to deal with the electricity company, the gas company and the water line....

Am I on track with the personal stuff??? Any suggestions ladies???

You are probably doing well but just having a moment of panic due to this huge life changing move. Every time I move (even around the corner - we did that!) there seems to be a moment that it feels nothing is right.
Do you have a list of the things you need to get accomplished before you leave? Seems like you have done downsizing in the closet and getting that squared away will make you feel better. Keep the Pumas - one less thing to worry about

Best wishes with the move and touch base from time to time when you can.

A move is always overwhelming, and I can imagine that moving to a different country involves a whole new set of things to do and think of.
It sounds like you have your wardrobe sorted, ramrrr. A closet clean-out takes time, but you did it!-)

I really think you are doing brilliantly. Take a deep breath whenever you start to feel overwhelmed, have a cup of tea, and then continue with the next item on your list. You'll get there.

Best wishes for your new life in Norway!

Moving is so overwhelming for me, I start packing before I start looking for a place to move to. My last move, I took a month to move my things over - was paying rent on two places! AND consider that I'd already packed everything AND yes, hired movers.

You're doing pretty brilliant in my book.
