Last day in Maine

This is it, folks.

I just awoke from my last night in my own bed. I only slept for a couple of hours, but I suppose it's to be expected. I'm pretty well packed and just need to get my stuff out, do some laundry, go to goodwill and the apartment cleaned.

I'll be staying the night on Ali's couch and Will is driving me to Logan bright and early for my flight. I'll be leaving at 8:45am and arriving at 2:45pm (Pacific time) and I'll be catching a ride from San Jose with a woman who's driving to the mountain and passing through on her way. The rest is a big fat unknown.

I have so many people I want to thank for all their help in getting me out west... I think you know who you are... at least I hope you do. I want to thank you all by name but seeing as I only got a couple hours of sleep and I'm just slightly distracted, there's a good chance that if I made a list that I'd miss someone and that'd just be crappy. So yeah. THANK YOU. For the help packing, help moving, watching my cats, storing my stuff, giving me rides, letting me keep my car in your driveway, the vegan cake, the gifts and cards, the couch to sleep on, the emotional support, the kick in the butt to actually get me to do this...

Wow... so many fantastic people in my life. The family and coworkers and friends and students and teachers... and you're all here in Maine. I'll truly miss you all- it boggles my mind to think that I won't see you for two months.

I'll try to update this blog frequently. As of right now, and I don't foresee this actually changing while I'm out there, I don't have a laptop so I'm not really sure how much access I'll have to the internet. I believe there will be computers that I can use during my downtime so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Next time I post I'll be in Cali. This still doesn't really seem real...
