And away I go.
Alright, folks. Here's the deal.
I'm moving in a few days. Technically, early Thursday morning. Or late Wednesday evening, depending on how you look at it. I'm headed for Missouri;
The details are complicated, but the bottom line is that the Army is only going to move our stuff a certain amount of miles, and anything over that is going to cost us an arm and a leg to ship. So we can't make it to New York. Using the miles we have, we're going to Missouri -- somewhere I've already been, where I know people, have friends, and know my way around the town we're moving to.
Frankly, I just don't care about New York anymore. The people in it, sure, but my desire to move there is a fair bit diminished; one can only get their hopes up so many times before the hope dulls and fades away. I still plan on moving to New York, but I'm in no hurry. I'll get everything major figured out in Missouri (income, a vehicle, probably some dating) and when I'm ready, I'll move. Not anytime before that.
That being said, I'm not against making visits and would likely look forward to them if I'm wanted. So if at some point you'd like me to visit, let me know and I'll save money for it.
All that aside, it's going to be a seven day trip by car to Missouri from here. I'm not sure when I'll have access to the internet again. I should get it back fairly soon, as I have a friend in the area who is willing to put us up for a while while we house hunt, and he has internet. Though I can promise nothing, so don't look forward to it and you won't be disappointed when I don't show up as planned.
So, in the spirit of things..
I wish you all the best, and if I do turn out to be gone for a while, I hope things go well for you all in my absence. Take care~
