Laowai

Well it’s happening. We’re on the move. Our home is filled with boxes and tape and paper… and men. 

I feel pretty expert at moving at this point but goodness it sure is a pain in the butt! It’s physically and mentally exhausting. I worked right up until the packing guys came this morning and now it’s strangely quiet. It’s a lovely day and I’m sitting outside while all my loved possessions get boxed up. I baked some last minute cookies for the packing people – hoping that they would take extra care with all our stuff. I finished my book and then stashed it in a box that hadn’t been closed up yet.

I’m just waiting until I can get on a plane. And I can’t take time to reflect on all the emotions I have about Switzerland and the US and moving because it’s just too much at the moment.

Here’s my post from when we arrived at this apartment almost exactly three years ago. In some ways it seems like not very long ago.
