Packing sucks!

This isn’t even close to being done. And it’s way late, but I’m not going to sleep anytime soon. I guess this is what I get for waiting until the last minute to pack!

I’m taking a break now because I need to.  I have the day off from work tomorrow and don’t move until Saturday, so I’m feeling OK with still being up at 1am…or 2am…or even all night if it comes to it.  I’m usually an early-to-bed-early-to-rise type person, so I’m trying not to let the fact that I should be into my 4th hour of sleep freak me out. :)  Especially since I’m being productive, right? (Well, except for this much needed, much DESERVED little blog break, if I do say so myself!)

I also want to squash the rumors that I’ve already been hearing (good golly, folks!): my current roommate — my Phil — and I are NOT having problems.  For some folks, this seems hard to believe.  Like, why would you move away from someone if there weren’t problems?  Let me tell you why:

Phil and I are not married; we are good friends.  He took me in when I lost my job a couple of years ago and the situation just worked.  But we knew it was temporary (again: not married).  Ever since last summer, I’d been saying: “after the holidays…after the holidays, I’ll see what I can find.”  And I had been looking.  And got offers from friends.  But it wasn’t quite “moving out time” when those happened and, blessedly, Phil didn’t think twice about it.  That new roommie (I gotta come up with a nickname for her to protect her innocence, heh) happened to be in the right place at the right time I needed was a godsend.

This new place is much closer to a job I started last summer.  It’s much less expensive (given gas mileage and insurance goes drastically down). And I was actually able to stick to my promise of moving out. :)

I thank you folks who contacted me directly, especially the ones who said: “I know you said you’d be moving out, but want to make sure things are okay with you guys.”  That was so much appreciated.  Things are better than okay and this has everything to do with me and where I’m going in my life and has nothing to do with leaving him behind or any negativity.  Because that could never happen. :)

Okay, break over and back to work! I just wish it were morning already because I am SO not used to being up this time of night. MWAH!
