it's now been a two-day stretch that i am not sick for once. hurray hurray. i feel like i'm back to my normal schedule for the first time in about a month. this week has been fun, although not as productive as i had hoped. tuesday i took off work early and drove out to namanu at 2:30pm. sweet. i am getting the hang of driving stick, finally, although i still have to work on my transitioning between gears. the one hour drive each way helped me practice. namanu was fun. caught up with some staff members a tiny bit, chatted in front of a wonderful fire in uncle toby's with polaris, started the campfire with shuffle, and watched drift and weasel lead field games (pirate ship!) while i basked in the sun. dinner was surprisingly good, and a trip into town for paul's night off was nice. it was a relaxing night. and it's just *so nice* to see paul in person. i love him so. :o)
last night i watched sunset boulevard (circa 1950) in black and white at the laurelhurst theatre with julie. pretty cool. and proceeds for concessions were going to se uplift, so we supported a good cause as we hung out.
tonight, well, it's a cleaning night. you would probably freak out if you saw how horrendously dirty/messy the apartment is right now. and i have been ashamed to invite anyone over (i had to desperately persuade my parents NOT to stop by the other night). this needs to change. and now that i am not sick, tonight is the night for some cleaning action. not fun but very needed.
mostly this week i have become pretty anxious about the move to madison that is coming up in only a few weeks! we have to be there by aug 28th, so i was thinking that if we are there by the 20th that would be a good time. right now the plan is to drive out with a rental hauling truck. which leads me to research uhaul ($1500 base fee, plus gas, with the truck getting 10 miles to the gallon!), and then budget (slightly less at $1300 plus gas), and then start trying to find cheaper options. or else sell off everything we have! which would be silly. but i do need to start sifting through my belongings because goodness knows i have way too much stuff and definitely need to give/throw/sell much of it away before the big move (like some old middle school clothes, and shoes i never wear, and wedding stuff, etc etc). consolidate consolidate. i inherited the worrying gene from my mom, so the past couple of nights it's been hard to get to sleep just thinking of all this stuff. plus finding housing. and applying to jobs. i am glad that we are fortunate to have a savings and a flexible schedule, but still. i want to save every penny if possible, that's just the way i am. but it might be one of those situations where it will be better to pay more in the end just to not waste so much time meddling and worrying and selling and sorting and packing for so long. we'll see.
ps. my sister's wedding is only a month away! i need to get my dress hemmed. and plan a million things for the shower next weekend, and buy a gift, and ....... hmmm, so much to do.
