Going, going, gone...

So I've been packing this week. Had a whirlwind trip to Cali to see some family. I don't see them as much as I'd like, but whenever I'm there I always have a fantastic time.
Anyway, came back and have been busy trying to get my life in order to leave. I am so mentally ready...my apartment is not. I have too much stuff. I have too many clothes. I have too much dust. I am trying to purge as much as possible. After all, I won't be back for 2 years and know that I will not want to dig out old stuff from the attic to decorate with, wear, etc. So I have 2 piles of things that are exponentially increasing in size: Trash and Good Will. It's a good feeling.I was totally stressed yesterday trying to get things together, didn't sleep (AGAIN!), but feel tired tonight, so hopefully will get a good night's sleep. I NEVER have trouble sleeping and was complaining to a friend about it...I have had trouble sleeping all summer. She reminded me that it could possibly be that I was a llittle preoccupied about a major life change like, oh, I don't know, MOVING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY?!?!? She's right, but it doesn't make not sleeping any easier. This is how it makes me feel...So, after I finish this blog I'm turning it in. Hopefully I'll wake up early tomorrow morning. I love doing that...so much better than falling asleep at 5-6 and waking up at 11. The day seems over before it begins. Have been importing all of my CDs to my iTunes to cut down on lugging them all the way to South America. I have so much good music that I rarely listen to...The process is prompting me to listen to those old CDs that sit in the back of the case. Fantastic stuff.

So, tomorrow, saturday, sunday, and then i'm gone.
