Trois Etapes de Déménagement

Two days until I will change cities again.
Since I moved some 15 times in the last 6 years or so, I suppose I recognize a pattern which I call the three steps of relocation:

1) "I don't have too many things to pack and move anyway."
2) "Crap! It's more than I thought. It doesn't fit into the car/luggage/etc."
3) "Oh well, it finally does fit, and I am ready to move."

I hope this principle is still valid... Wish me luck.
