Panic Attack!!!

[moosmom]

I am in the middle of a true panic attack!!! I do mean true...hyperventilating, etc. Not only has reality set in about my move, but I'm finding out how REAAAAAAALLLLLLYY small my car is and how much of my stuff I'm going to be able to fit into it, which INCLUDES the cat carriers.

I have heard NOTHING from PurrsAbound about Parker yet. I absolutely, positively CANNOT fit her in my car. I've sent countless emails with no responses. They put out an SOS on my situation. If they don't answer me by the time I leave, I'm afraid I'll have to put her in a shelter or have her boarded

I called one of my friends in CT with a truck to see if he could help me. I even offered to pay for his gas!! He said that his in-laws are moving in with he and his wife and he's helping them.

What am I going to do??? It's times like this when I wish I had a big honking SUV. Can't do a trailer cuz my car is too small and won't accommodate it. Can't afford to hire someone. Can't afford to rent a small U-Haul truck.

God's testing me again. This one's a final exam!!!

Oh what a situation! But don't panic - you won't think clearly! Donna, can you rent a big van perhaps?

Two of my girlfriends got a car to drive across USA some years ago to deliver to someone, it was totally free for them. Do they still do that?

I hope it all works out!

After a good cry, looking at all the stuff I have, I've decided that I need to concentrate on the things I'll NEED while in CT as opposed to the trinkets I've collected over the years. Casey (RB, 2002) and Tigger's (RB, 1999) ashes are going with me.

My SIL offered her garage for me to store my stuff in. As much as it pains me to leave all that I treasure behind, that's the way it has to be for now. The thought of having to return to MI really makes me ill. But so be it.

I AM taking some pictures with me. I heard from PurrsAbound. They've found a foster home for Parker. She's savy in Meezer behavior and has worked with the Michigan Humane Society. That is one load off my mind.

So, onward and upward. Thanks for the encouragement, Randi. It means alot to me.

Hugs,

Donna

Sweet Donna,

I'm glad Parker is accounted for...I'm sure that makes you feel a ton better.

As for the other stuff...its just stuff and you can get it when you're more settled. Just take what you and the cats NEED.

That is exactly where I'm at. I cannot physically move anything, so I'm counting on my brother and David to help me out. I only have with me what I need to live...no extras. Its hard, but you'll be surprised what you can live without.

I'll keep you and the furkids in my prayers, honey. I'm so sorry I didn't have my phone on me when you called. I've been utterly exhausted this weekend, so I've been napping a lot.

Lots of hugs,
Kelly

Kelly,

Thanks for putting it into perspective. It IS just stuff. The most important things right now are what me and my furkids NEED! Everything else can come secondary.

The cry did me good though. Made me realize how much I miss CT, my friends and family.

I'm glad to hear you and the puddies settled, Kelly. I'll try and call you again.

Hugs,

Donna

Sweetheart, that's the best news I have heard! I'm so happy that Parker now has a foster home, and that this is one load off your mind. As noahsmommy said, just take the necessary things with you to Connecticut, then get the rest when you're settled.I'm glad that you had a good cry then settled down to think a little clearer. Honey, {{{{HUGS}}}} all the way to Connecticut!! Love you!
