It Hath Begun!

Saturday was Ryan's last day at Target. He had considered calling out, then decided against it...and good thing, too, since almost everyone else working that night called out instead! He ended up being a cart attendant for most of the night.

Sunday was spent recovering.

Yesterday, after I left for work at 5:30, he went to work. By the time I got home, about half of our stuff was packed--that is, most of the bookshelf and our bedroom closet. Most of what's left basically has to wait until a couple days before we actually move--our desks, our clothing, etc.

We have a route mapped out (Ryan knows the details, I just know it goes through Pennsylvania), we have our hotels booked (for the night before (since we'll  have packed our mattress) and the halfway point), we've bought our driving supplies (snacks, drinks, wet wipes, sunscreen). Soon we'll start picking which CDs we'll want handy in the car, and planning which clothes and belongings we'll want for the almost-week before our trailer arrives.

Today I'm ripping physical CDs into my computer, moving important things from PC to thumbdrive to Mac to iPad to Google whatever and on and on, and changing the address for my magazines and credit cards. Whee!

I'm trying not to think about all the things I wish I could have done that there just isn't time for, or all the money issues (delays while paychecks are mailed, insurance coming out of a half-paycheck, tolls, etc), the fact that my most of my last week I have to work with That One...just getting things done and enjoying the time I have left with my friends here.

....let's pretend that's working, shall we?
