The Countdown to Canada stress page

AAAAAHHH! I am getting crazy stressed out. We are leaving really really soon. Like, really really soon. Because I am a dork (and those of you who know me can surely attest to this), I wrote out a list of things to do weeks ago, on recipe cards for each week, for both Bryce and I. Like:
March 25-31st
LANA
- book ticket
- shop for souvenirs for home
- download files from work
- get motorcycle tuned up
- ship 3 boxes home
- give books/food/...away
March 25-31st
BRYCE
-find accomodations in Kingston
- find jobs in Kingston
- plan cross-Korea trip
- get cats shots finished
-go to pension office for a refund
....
etc... However, some things just aren't done. How the heck did this happen? I am up at night stressed out and thinking about all sorts of 'what ifs'.
Like What IF:
- the cats die on the plane home
- I don't have a job in Canada
- I can't give away our stuff
- something is wrong with the motorbike and we can't do our Cross-Korea trip (WHICH IN THE END IS TRUE, BECAUSE IT WAS STOLEN YESTERDAY)
- I don't get to see important people to say goodbye to them
- I choose the wrong program to study next year
- I don't have a place to live in Canada
-etc...
These What Ifs are piled onto a host of How Are We Going To's and all sorts of Maybe We Shoulds and then sprinkled with loads of I'm Really Going To Misses.
The coundown is on- 2 weeks to the end of the contract ( Holy crap!!), and our tix are booked for April 28th. We may change the date (shhh!), but for now, that is the story.
I hate moving. I suppose I should get over that considering my lifestyle.
yoiks.

I hear ya... loud and clear, I hear ya.
You *know* that you will get through this, the cats won't die, and in a few weeks, you will look back and it will just be another blip on the radar of your life.
