Unsettled

I am feeling unsettled and so is Levi.  As an adult, I can mostly hide it and just feel a bit 'off my game', but for Levi, it is a little more obvious.  Moving schools at any age is stressful, moving to a school in a different continent, that much more so.  Moving house across town is stressful and across the world, that much more so.  I actually don't have a whole bunch to do at the moment.  I have pretty much chosen what is going and what isn't.  Given that the moving company is packing it all, I can just stack it in a corner and stop worrying about it.  I can leave the pictures on the wall until they pack them up and take them away.  I will miss them until I get them back and I think that the next place will become truly home when my pictures arrive to make it so.  At least I have an excuse for the house looking like a bomb has hit it!

 

Levi has four days left of school here but is begging me to stay home for 'just one day'.  He is tired but lies awake at night struggling to sleep because he can't switch it off.  Tonight he went to sleep with the big main light on, and about an hour after his bedtime was still fairly fitfully attempting to sleep.  Poor sweet thing.

 

The next three weeks are busy but not crazy.  Levi has a week of school and then two weeks of vacation and I have to work for all of it.  At the end of the three weeks we fly out.
