Since everyone is harassing me about not posting lately, here goes:
I haven’t posted in awhile, because there’s so much going on. I’m moving back to Cali — woo hoo — in less than 2 weeks. Tomorrow, I’m handing in my resignation letter at work, and I (hopefully) have an interview for an awesome new job the first business day after I return to Cali.
Packing and cleaning and getting rid of anything that I can live without, replace, or just plain doesn’t fit into my car has taken up much of my time.
8/8 is the big moving date. Brendan and I are packing all my stuff, the dogs, and ourselves into my little civic. First stop — Raleigh, NC. Then, I think we’re just going to follow 40 all the way across, with a stop in Las Vegas.
Am I crazy? 2 people, 2 dogs, and all my stuff in a civic for 3000 miles??? What was I thinking!
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, and worrying. I’m never quite sure quitting my job and moving back home is the best idea. I had so many doubts about it, but I’ve finally decided that staying here hasn’t made me happy and every time I get the opportunity to go home something comes up here that makes me stay. This time, that hasn’t happened.
However, I did meet a really sweet guy — Ryan. =) I haven’t told him, but I’m really glad that I met him, even if I am leaving soon. That could have made everything complicated, except that we decided up front that we’d just be friends once I leave… we both know the whole cross-country thing doesn’t really work. And I know he’ll be a good friend …. he’s already been a good friend. I probably would have spent the last 2 weeks (and the next 2 weeks) here feeling lonely and worrying about what I was doing… but I haven’t done that since I met him, and I’m very grateful to him for keeping me from feeling that way, even if he doesn’t realize he has.
