Moving day continues to approach, closer and closer. It is no longer something that looms on the distant horizon, but something that is here and real and that I think about every day (whether I want to or not). It's very real, and it'll be here before I know it, because I feel like just yesterday I was saying "it's still three months away," then "it's still two months away." My last day of work out here is Tuesday, February 16th, and I'll fly out to DC that Thursday the 18th or Friday the 19th.
I'm trying to stay focused on all the positives, on all the things I'm excited for. Honestly, packing and looking at quotes to ship my car and all that boring kind of logistical stuff is well, boring; I know it's a necessary evil though. It's easy to get bogged down in the boring details sometimes, and forget about the excitement. It's also easy to think of how everything will change and how everything will be different. I know that different doesn't necessarily mean bad, but I'm afraid of things changing for the worse. I know that 3000 miles is not a convenient distance, and I don't want my relationships and friendships to suffer from a severe case of "out of sight, out of mind." In order to better keep in touch with family and friends (ie. video calls), I just finished signing up for and creating a Skype account. My user name is laurel_85 for any of you already on Skype or wanting to sign up (it's free between Skype users!). Just got to Skype.com and follow the easy download and set up instructions.
On a positive note, I'm all out of boxes, so that means packing is done for the day! Time to go relax with a mug of hot tea in front of the TV before getting to bed in a while.
