Uberimma: Who knows ten? I know ten. Ten are the days till we leave.
Uberimma: is about to wave goodbye to her spinning wheel. :(
Uberimma: just waved goodbye to six big boxes of stuff we won't see again till September sometime.
Uberimma: 's stuff has a ride to the airport!
Uberimma: was just reminded that she still has no way to get her half ton of luggage to O'Hare in TWELVE DAYS.
Uberimma: One week and six days. But who's counting?
Uberimma: is scheduled to be landing two weeks, one day, and three minutes from now.
Uberimma: It's official: you cannot fit the worldly goods of a family of six into eighteen pieces of luggage. In case anyone was wondering.
Uberimma: loves LL Bean. They had a typo in their paper catalog knocking down the price of really nice no-iron Shabbos shirts to $19.50 each, and are honoring it. Husband has eight new shirts now, and strict orders not to grow or shrink in any way.
Uberimma: just got a book from the JUF about a little girl named Uberimma who makes aliya with her family and misses her grandma. Hmm.
Uberimma: is attempting to write a speech while listening to Avtalon tear around the living room singing "ROOshayayim! ROOshayayi-im!" a la Uncle Moishy.
Uberimma: is writing speeches and eating Nutella.
Uberimma: 's kitchen has never been this clean and empty outside of Pesach prep. My whole body aches, but it's gleaming. [collapses on floor]
Uberimma: has just been informed that we will have almost exactly half a ton of stuff with us when we leave. I don't think I needed to know that.
Uberimma: 's house seems empty without Deb and her daughter, but soon Sarah will be here! Aliya: best way ever to get all your out-of-town friends to visit. Highly recommended.
Uberimma: loves listening to Barak daven in the morning, all by himself, with his own siddur.
Uberimma: Two weeks and six days. It feels a lot closer from this side of the three-week mark.
Uberimma: backing up her hard drive. 198 minutes remaining.
Uberimma: hasn't packed in over 24 hours and is starting to feel DTs coming on.
Uberimma: just saw some amazing fireworks with Deb and Barak, whom I had to grab by the shirt to keep him from booking out of there at the first boom.
Uberimma: Three weeks and three days.
Uberimma: needs suggestions: how to get 18 pieces of luggage to the airport on Monday morning 7/26? We can get the people there in one minivan, but the luggage will need a truck or a full-sized van at the least.
Uberimma: should be packing but is taking a short break to snort at this.

Uberimma: just rejiggered her entire packing plan to allow her husband to take both boxes of seforim on the plane. Greater love hath no woman.
Uberimma: is convinced that stuff is regenerating when I'm not looking. The more I pack, the more there is lying around. Deb, I'm sure there's a bed back here somewhere...
Uberimma: is starting to see progress...
Uberimma: Sony Discman, circa 2004. Anyone?
Uberimma: is getting to the stuff that's hard to pack.
Uberimma: has packed, taped, labeled, weighed and inventoried 12 pieces of luggage. Six to go, most of which I can't pack until the week before we leave.
Uberimma: is really hoping for a night free of vomit.
Uberimma: has never seen such freaky-colored light. Is anyone else's sky looking, um, green?
Uberimma: just put her baby on the bus for the last day of kindergarten. Wasn't it just the first day?

Uberimma: is excited. Ellie's coming in twelve hours!!!
Uberimma: still has no flights. Hopefully Monday. Stay tuned, as always, to this exciting channel.
Uberimma: is booking flights.
Uberimma: has visas in my hot little hands, all names spelled correctly. But they did not return my apostille. "The apostille was in that envelope? I will look." Breathe...
Uberimma: was determined not to pack tonight but did some packing anyway. Oh well, it's a harmless habit really.
Friend of Uberimma: Are you packing whenever you celebrate, or you're sad, or just for no reason? Are you packing when you're alone? Do you pack more than one or two boxes at a time? Have people talked to you about your packing? Uberimma, YOU SHOULD GET HELP!!!
Uberimma: But my packing doesn't affect me. Really. I'm totally in control of my packing. I could stop at any time--I just choose not to because I enjoy my packing. I can take care of my family just fine while I'm packing and I'm never sore the next morning. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM!
Uberimma: has a totally sewn-together Escher-esque tesselated fish blanket for Marika! (Don't be too impressed: I started it for Iyyar.)
Uberimma: plans to celebrate the arrival of visas and the departure of everyone for convention (speeches in hand) by taking the evening off to sew some fish.
Uberimma: has visas waiting to be picked up!
