Last Night on Earth (or at least, Chicago)

It's been a brutal day of packing.  The last time we moved, we found ourselves throwing things into boxes at the last minute after our moving help had already arrived.  This time, we were determined to have things more organized.  Progress!  

And, I think, we've succeeded, though at the cost of every ounce of energy we had left.  We're ready to sleep now...and awake in the morning to load up the truck; drive it to New Buffalo, Michigan; unload the truck into storage; return the truck and drive to Arlington Heights, Illinios, where we'll stay for a few days before we leave the U.S.A.  So that's the game plan.  More updates to follow.
