I've woken up in the mornings lately, and yet my days seem to go SO fast. I can't explain it. I get up, go online to chat to Ryan, work on a few things on my computer -- whether it be some files needing clearing out or checking email or whatnot -- nothing too fancy like actually WRITING more entries, I get offline so Mom can call, I go over to Mom's house, I make whimsies, or more packaging or something of the sorts, and then I head home, watch a little TV or get back on the computer, try to get something productive done (under the computer or the mouse or both poop on me), and finally I get offline when Ryan is about to call. We talk and then the day is done! Amazing how fast it went, huh? And how much of a run-on sentence that was? *wipes brow* Shwoo!

So, anyways, I have news! Good news. Scary (to me) news. Important news. Big news. Ok, ok. I know, I'm just trying to draw up the suspense a tad.

Can't blame a chick for trying.

So, Ryan and I have talked. Had a serious-ish talk. We agreed that I'll move near the end of September! So soon, so far away... so much to do... so little time... so much more that I wanna say, but I don't even know how to word it. I'll say what I've been thinking about since the decision has been made...

I don't have a lot of furniture to move, in fact, it's only really a dresser, my computer desk, 2 chairs (a sofa chair and a rocking chair), and well... umm... actually, that's it. So I don't need a big moving vehicle. Ryan is coming out here to drive with me. (We decided on travelling together for numerous reasons -- one of my top priorities is the convenience for my girls). So, it'll take about 4 or 5 days and it'll cost a tad of money, but that's ok. I think it'll be worth it. (Even though I'll miss Mom immensely, among other things around here).

The next things to think about are: how to pack all my stuff? What is most important to bring, since Ryan's place isn't chock-full of storage or anything? What day is going to be the exact date? Which company do I rent a vehicle from? What do I tell my current boss (since Mom's interested in doing the work after I leave, I have a back-up all set for him! hehe)? Who do I need to inform of my new address? When along all of this do I file for bankruptcy? (Before or after I move?) Where will all my stuff go once brought into Ryan's place? What else am I forgetting?

Sometimes it just helps to think out-loud... or in writing in this case. I will get things figured out. I have a smart Mom and smart boyfriend to help me get things organized. :) I'm fortunate.
