This week is the first of the next three that have me in a tailspin. We have started the countdown until we move (15 days in counting) and I have really had to work hard to plan out meals, using up food, perishables first and so on. Although it takes lots of effort and time, I am finding myself feeling a sense of relief when we finish something up and use the remainder of an item.

About two weeks ago, I went to Costco and the butcher to stock up on our usual basics (and a few extras), ironically within a few days was when the offer on the house came in, which of course made me panic a little. I figured we might be close, but for the most part we should be able to use everything before we would be moving. So yesterday, I actually sat down in front of the freezer and planned out dinners for the next 15 days.
