8 days

8 days till the moving day :)

Soon it'll be 6 and 4 and 2, 1...  Times goes rather fast for my liking, however, I can't wait to go! I can't wait to sit behind the wheel and cruise, cruise and cruise till I get stiff knees and shoulders.  Guess I won't do much sightseeing off I-80 but at least I can say I've been in Michigan or Nevada, and show my fly-through IPhone pic from my car as a proof :)

But I had most amazing Sabbath today, went to visit friends in south Jersey and spent the day with them, worshiping, singing, having dinner, tea, and just talking and laughing all day.  What amazing people!  They're like family to me, a God-send!  Amazingly Ruth's food was all delicious, so my taste buds are not a complete loss yet :)  And as usual, I was sent home with a huuuuuge bag of food with me.  So I ended up driving home, munching on baked apples, papayas and singing hymns with Paul Dempsey at the top of my lungs.  I seem to do it quite often.  The singing.  :)


Side note:  Why most weddings happen on Saturdays??? :/

9 days

9 days left till the move.

I brought with me a whole bunch of move related things to do at work, but had absolutely no time to do any of them.  Most of it was phonecalls.  Work is always busy and I slept through my full hour of lunch.  I am more than greateful though that I can stay at work till my chosen day; work had full right to kick me out two weeks ago, when my trainee pretty much passed most of the training.  Im using Marina's desk now, she's on maternity leave.  I need to remember to throw away all the galloping horses and female nudes I've been drawing all over her stickies...  I don't know if she'd appreciate my artistic visions :)

I think I'm losing my taste.  Nothing tastes good anymore, not even organic things, no fruits, apples, bananans, green smoothies, my double decker salad... I still enjoy baked potatoes and avocados, but that starts going too.  I'm thinking it may be another stress reaction, just like all the weird skin problems I went through... and still going through with some.  And I'm getting fat.  Bleh! I can't wait for the sun, I absolutely can't wait to start running again and being outside and just laying on the grass and falling asleep in the sunny yard of ours! I don't think I'll start healing properly till I actually get there!!!! 9 more days!

So for now I'll enjoy the Sabbath rest, maaaan, how much I need that!

 

10 days

10 days till the moving day. :) 
Of course I accomplished nothing constructive today that will help me with the move.  I've got plenty of time.  All my junk is tucked away in a corner of my brother's apartment.  Yes, we sometimes trip over it, but that's because the coffee table is in the way.  Coffee table, which has all my pic editing stuff on it.  Other than that, and my stacks of books, and a closet and a half full of clothes, and three bags of shoes, and a cupboardful of kitchen stuff, and my juicer and blender I can't live without, and my studio lighting set (which I'm shipping over), I don' t have that much.   

I honestly don't know how I'm gonna pack it all up...

But I did one important thing today!  I got my last haircut at David Arnold's with Sue, the only person within a hunded miles that can deal with baby fine hair.  How will I find another one like her? I said goodbye to her.  And to the gas station attendant, who compliments me each time I get gas... and to the post office clerk, who knows me from shipping hundreds of boxes with crocheted baby booties... and all the friendly butchers at Fresh Market, from the time when I used to feed the kitties...  and the Subway workers that know exactly what I want...  and finally to the amazing Horsham Fitness Club!  I pray I'll find people like them in the land of pretty sunsets!  Or even better people :)
