Empty House

yendiRandom thoughts:
Today was a little overwhelming, both for all the reasons I expected before, as well as some unexpected new ones surrounding both work (the old job) and the move. Suffice to say, I'm emotionally drained, and was damned near on the verge of tears a couple of times.
Not everything fit into the U-Haul. Which means we now have a bunch of stuff in storage. Suck.
'song and Kires hit the road a little before 5, not nearly as early as we'd all hoped, but they are safely on the way. The poor cats are not happy, and saying goodbye to them was nearly impossible (not that saying goodbye to my wife was much easier, but at least she knows what's going on; the cats just know that their life is being disrupted).
I spent a good portion of the last couple of hours cleaning the house, and will spend lots more time tomorrow. We had so much crap.
No mail arrived today; I'm taking that as a sign that everything was okay on our mail forwarding.
One major thing that didn't make it into the truck: Either of the litter boxes or the litter itself.. So 'song and Kires have one thing to buy, unless one of the folks meeting them in the afternoon/evening has one (or could grab one, and we'll reimburse).
Things left behind deliberately: The microwave (which was cheap to begin with, too big, and redundant in the new place); The above-toilet shelf unit; the ultra-heavy dresser from my office; 'song's old desk.
Another thing that didn't make it was the box with the Tivo remote. I've tossed that into the suitcase. Gotta prioritize.
I'm drained as hell. Miss Kid and I are currently staying at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
photognome's. I suspect I'll be asleep ten minutes after she is.
Miss Kid also wanted to go on the eighteen-hour U-Haul ride with 'song and Kires. She's clearly insane. Alas, there just wasn't room.
I owe a bunch of you comment replies. I promise I'll be better about that later, when the brain works. Right now, I'm too tired to even try to keep up with LJ.
