GGGAAAAAA!!!!



Pardon me while I spazz.

Looks like I'm going to Pittsburgh sooner than we had planned! I have had several people come over to see the current living space I have in Virginia this week, and today I just found out that the guy who showed up last night wants it...the only snafu is, he has to be out of his place BEFORE the 31st of August!

Yeahhhhhsoooooo...I'm feeling rather frazzled at the moment, to say the least. BUT, this is good news overall because now I can finally get ON with things. Today I reserved the U-Haul truck. I've gathered more empty boxes. I have given my notice to my job that next Tuesday will be my last day. I've called my vet, to get my dog's medical records. I've called MY doctor to do the same thing, and my dentist too. And my eye doctor. Egad. Then I just have to change my address with the post office, and my car insurance, and with my car payment place...egad...and and and...

My God it just never ends...AAAUUGGHHHH!!! (spazz sequence currently in progress)

Ok ok ok....breathe....ok...ah....yes...ok....better now.

Between now and next week, I have to pack everything I own, clean the place from top to bottom, and paint my bathroom (because pink is NOT the guy's favorite color). Plus I have to work Monday and Tuesday. Plus we're going to be gone most of this coming weekend. So, it really boils down to Monday night, Tuesday night, all day Wednesday and Thursday, and then POOF, I'm gone next Friday.

I will also have to get keys made for this new roommate dude, print him some maps of the area, provide him with the rent payment info, my new address and phone number, and a list of general rules of the household...plus a copy of the signed lease and his rent check. Then I'll have to scan and email the rent check to David in Manila, after depositing it into his bank account for him. AND AND AND...

My brain is spinning.

Ah well. I haven't heard about the job interview I had last Friday so I'm still in limbo about that. But, 2 out of 3 hard things are done---we found a place for me to live, and now I've found a replacment roommate for my VA place too. The job is #3.

So far so good. Now I just gotta figure out how to see Peter between now and when I leave too. SIGH. I have slowly come to realize that the love I felt for Peter really does not encompass all that I am now learning love can be...the limitations of what he could give just prevented any kind of real love from growing into something more. This is helping me to let go. I'll still miss him horribly. But I know it's for the best. We'll always be close friends though, no matter what.

Love, Sassy Girl
