Zero Hour

So this is it - I'm moving tomorrow morning.

Honestly...I don't feel like I am.  I feel like I'm going on an extended camping trip with lots of stuff.  I'll come back in a week or so and have to go back to work, remember to wash the towels, and feed the dogs at 6 every night.  In all actuality, in a couple of weeks I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to feel.

But in the meantime, I'm procrastinating.  There are still lots of songs I need to get off my dad's PC and onto the laptop if I ever want to use my iTunes again.  There is a basket full of clean laundry that needs to be folded up and put in a box.  There are several boxes that need to be take out to my car.  I should probably write down the address of the hotel, the apartment, the credit union, etc.  I should clean out Ophelia's cage again.  But honestly, I just want to take a nap.

This whole business has been incredibly draining and taxing.  I will be happy for it to be over, just so I can get back into a routine again and not be worried about what random thing is going to be needing taken care of next.  Of course, I'll have a whole new set of things to worry about, like finding a new job, getting a credit union account set up, feeding myself, etc.  But I look forward to a while after all that, when life develops a natural pattern again, and I can start finding out what normal is, because I'm pretty sure I've forgotten.

I am super excited though.  I'm excited to figure out a new city, and it be MY city - my parents won't automatically know more about it than me.  I'll have the quickest routes, the double turn lanes figured out.  I'll know where's cheap to eat, and where's good to eat.  I have new everything: new apartment, new bed, new car, new dresser, new school, new professors, new weather patterns, new church, new amusement park, new stores....It's a grand adventure, and I'm thrilled to get to do this by myself.  :)

Separate Ways

Sold the truck.  Sold my Gilgamesh.

It was necessary.  But oh man...I didn't want to.

So we'll play Sister's theme song for him.  :)  Journey – Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)
