Is not something one should be doing 7 days before a major move.

Dearest Laura,
I have come to visit your blob because the universe has told me you are not to keen on moving here.
I'm so sorry your expectations are in the gutter. Gutters here do tend to get crowded what with all the rain and such. So you've got a large welcoming committee.
One thing I was thinking today: It is sometimes in taking the biggest risks in life that we experience our deepest rewards.
But I know, I know. This is a process and I can't get too ahead of myself. There's a difference between knowing something and living something. And even if you already know that something, sometimes the living of it is just real hard.
By the way, I do get where you're coming from on the whole business of sunlight. I wanted to clear this whole thing up by mentioning that we do indeed have light here. We are not all dark. This isn't Alaska where half the year is lived in utter darkness. So be thankful for that. At least Tom's job isn't taking you up that direction. I'd hate moving up there. Snow and dark.
But you and I both know there are plenty of worse situations. It's just that this particular one sucks for you. I get it.
I wish there was something I could do to make things better...
Come to think of it, there is! You'll see. All in due time. It's the nature of the universe.
Wow, Seattle, you're a pretty cool dude. I live around here and I like your vibe. Are you, by any chance, related to Chief Sealth, the wise one who was chief of the Suquamish tribe, and for whom the city of Seattle was named? Smileygirl, I think Seattle is onto something...I'm looking forward to hearing from you when you get here. God bless you and Tom as both of you, Wrigley and Chumley make your way north.
Thank you for stopping by my blob. Are you related to my mom?
Your sentiments are very sweet and welcoming. I know you are not a bad place, in fact, I believe you are very beautiful and cultured and exciting, probably one of the most breath taking cities in our country. It's the climate that surrounds your being that I'm not too fond of. And I know there's not much you can do about that. In a way I think I'm preparing myself for the worst so if it's not that bad I'll be pleasantly surprised. Like you said there is a difference between knowing something and living something. I will remember that during this time. Maybe, it won't be so bad.
I also know that my "goodbyes" are taking their toll. We could be moving anywhere and I'd still be feeling overwhelming sadness, leaving the people I love and care about so much. But the good thing is most of the people that I'm leaving have never been to visit you and have always wanted to, so we're already planning for out of town guests.
Thank you, Seattle. I'll be seeing you very soon. I'll be the one with the frizzy hair, bundled in scarves, clutching my coffee mug!

What are the logistical plans for moving the cat and dog? Are you driving or flying to Seattle?
Quick hire do-it-all movers! Snow! What a novel concept! Now I want to see snow this year.

I was going to write a comment here, but I'll do it later.
