tokana's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Wander Through Tomorrow is my big Wander-Through at Tatame, I'm excited to see everyone one last time before I go. I'll admit, I'm a little nervous that no one will actually show up, but I'm trying to have faith I have 11 boxes packed already. It's frustrating because I can't pack an entire room or closet up. If I pack the entire 'office area' I won't have a computer. If I pack the entire kitchen I won't be able to make dinner, if I pack all my clothes I'd have to figure out what I want to wear for the next 14 days or so. So instead I've been packing parts of each room. I have the shelves from the office done, the dishes and cups from the kitchen, the frames and knick-knacks from the living room etc. Once Chris gets here and I'm motivated by the lack of time he'll have here I think things will go quicker. By then we'll have less than 10 days left... Wow, less than 10 days with a Florida address. I'm excited. Really excited. But also really, really nervous. The knowledge that what is currently in my back account it literally all I have to keep me going until I find a job is really nerve racking. There's also the fact that I don't know anyone there or even how to get around town. I'm excited about all of the new experiences, but nervous about how the practicalities will work out. Our new townhouse is tiny, but cozy and I'm eager to get settled there and decorate things. Chris and I have discussed buying, when that lease runs out. But I plan to settle in as if we're going to be there for a while - it would be nice to go a while without moving. The longest I've gone in the past seven years without relocating is 10 months. While I enjoy change I think I could go for some continuity. I don't think Chris has had much of an opinion either way up until now. So far everywhere we've been has been a means to an end, a place to put our crap until the next phase was over. But now that he's an F.O. we have at least a couple of years before any major promotions. I think we could both use a little 'settling in' right now. I found a floor plan of our new place online and I'm measuring furniture to decide where we will put stuff and what will fit. Chris will hopefully come in tomorrow night sometime. If not then than early on Wednesday morning. I've learned that I'm okay without him around for a few nights. But after about five I start to miss him and after ten, well, that's enough. It's been ten nights tonight...it's time. It' will be so nice to be back under the same roof. He'll actually have a home to return to after a trip instead of his crash pad and I won't have to go more than three or four nights without him. Anyhow - that's all for now. Stop by Tatame tomorrow night to make me feel loved and to sign my autograph book. I'll let you know what kind of turn out I have. 4:42 p.m. - August 22, 2005 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
