Playing the waiting game

My wife and I are prepping to move. We're down to the final days of the waiting game. Lots of anxiousness and malaise as we wait for all of the pieces to fall into place. It's tough on somebody whose job has been project management for years to know that there are tasks and dependencies that are completely out of my control.

On the plus side, the bank has said we're on target to close this week, and it's looking like work that was being done on the house is either done or being wrapped up. Living with a living room full of boxes (and a very confused cat) may be coming to a close and moving towards normalcy.

Now if only I could find the right carrot to encourage my pals to help me move, when we know that we're moving... ;)
