This reference to moving will no doubt produce some feedback Leah; who doesn't have a story about moves. And I love the word MOVE, which conjures all sorts of thoughts. Some I shared a while back in https://catchmydrift.blog/2020/08/03/re-move/
I have moving hell in my mind but for opposite circumstances for sure! I’m moving in this coming year from a home I’ve lived in for almost 50 years. Every door I open almost gives me a heart attack--for sure a hasty slam! What do I move? What do I give away? What do I throw away? What goes to Operation Blessing? I’m going c.1000 miles away from where my children grew up in Texas to where one of them lives in Atlanta. It’s really a good thing but a bit scary to me. All you precious young guys and girls who are expert at moving, come help me!!
Yep. Moving is hell, no two ways about it. You described that moment of bedtime disorientation so aptly! I hope it all goes as smoothly as is actually possible. Or maybe quickly? That might be a better hope... :-)
I like the way you bounced back from a bad start. I too, suffered through a weird childhood. Alcoholic, compulsive gambling parents, seven different elementary schools, 2 high schools, 19 moves in 18 years...all in the same city...Sarnia. Once free of my parents, I figured things out and life has been good ever since.

Perfect timing, Leah! I’m taking a cigarette break at this very moment- standing on my soon to be old balcony and hiding from the MOVERS😱😱😱
