One more day until the moving truck arrives. I am almost totally packed except for the pots and pans.
Then onto cleaning..Yay..not. I am still in a quandary as to whether I sleep on the floor on Monday night after the truck has left, or finding a cheap hotel room locally. Not looking forward to my first sprint of the journey spent after sleeping on the floor all night, but do I want to spend money on a room? Decisions, decisions.
I don't have GPS so I found an atlas at the Walmart.(still cracks me up when people add "the" like it's the only one out there.) I figure the most difficult parts navigating will be around the bigger cities, the first being Pittsburgh. I intend to mark my passage in short Facebook posts, to keep friends apprised.
Being that I have an older smart phone that loses battery strength quickly, I'm crossing my fingers.
Charles Town has been good to me in it's way, I appreciate all the friends that I have made here, and the job that added to my skills. But I am looking forward to my new adventure, discovering new territory, making new friends. I won't miss the skunks though..both human and the regular basic striped ones.
Gilly has finally clued in to the changes, there was a fair amount of feline howling done tonight because his ratty old cat tower is not coming with us. I hope to find his highness another one that is not shredded. I'm sure that getting back to being outside some of the time will solve some of that, though Dad might start to wonder about his trees with claw marks on them. I have a sedative for the drive, though I would rather not have to use it. He'll be in the bathroom when the movers arrive, but I can remember him freaking out in there when we moved in here.(wedged between the vanity and the tub, turning himself upside down and panicking.
Not sure that I will be able to post here again once the move starts. My next entry will likely be in Colorado.
