I had every intention of updating last night, and even started writing, but I passed out on the floor of my (old) bedroom, slept through (what was left of) the night, and hit the road early this morning, so that had to be scrapped.
Last night was my last night in the bedroom that I have lived in for the better part of the last 27 years. I felt like I should have been more emotional about that, but it really didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I actually was thinking about things today on the drive, and I realized that I feel like I have no emotion regarding any of this.
Today I drove most of the way down. It was too much for one day, so I am holed up in a dingy hotel somewhere near the VA/TN border. Tomorrow I will complete the trip, and start loading things into 113. I am excited to put my new bed set on my bed, and excited to set my record player up again. It has only been two days, but I miss my stupid records. A lot.
Last night, after loading everything into the van, I realized I forgot to pack my shoes. After maneuvering things to get them in, I realized I never packed any hangers. More rearranging. This went on until well after one am, at which point I finally said, "forget it. If I forgot it now, I can replace it when I get there. I have had enough." Then I pulled my comforter out of the laundry basket it had been sitting in only to find a box of important documents that I couldn't leave behind. More rearranging. It was a long night.
The drive so far has been good. The last hour before the hotel was rough. It was raining and my ipod died and I was so ready to be out of the car. I think, though, that the last hour of any drive is rough, at least that seems to be my experience.
I feel like there is more that I should say, but I keep yawning and I have a lot to do tomorrow, so I think I am going to call it a night. We don't have internet in our house yet, as far as I know, so I will attempt to write an update tomorrow, though it might not get posted for a few days.
I still can't believe that I am doing this. I must be insane.
