It's 15 degrees here. A very frigid and dry 15 degrees. Brr!!
Alana is asleep upstairs on the bed and I am preheating the oven.
I can't wait to be done with school. I am two essays and one final away from having a Bachelor's Degree. Allen has his as of Friday! He's my genius!
All that's holding us back from moving to Seattle is JOBS. Apartments are not hard to find. Jobs are hard, especially when you live 2.5 hours and a mountain pass away from the city. We could move any day now. We want out!
I'm starving! Alana was sleeping on me for a long time and I was just able to get up and start seeking food.
We're down to just a few diapers and I need to go to Fred Meyer's. I'm intimidated by the weather, but as long as I stick to the main roads I should be okay. When it snows in Seattle, the city shuts down. Makes sense, it's a bunch of hills whereas here it's flat. Also, no snow means no experience driving in the snow.
We can't wait to clean the house and get packing. Then, we'd be able to make a break for Seattle.
This whole moving thing is difficult. I mean, we have to find jobs, rent a U-Haul, pack, give notice to our landlord while potentially having to pay two full months at places we are only living at for two weeks each. Our money is getting lower and lower. My savings is almost drained (thank goodness I even had some) and our income is very low! We could probably qualify for food stamps.
I just can't wait to get out of here.
I wish I could enjoy the potential last few weeks staying home with Alana but there's just too much to do to enjoy it.
I just can't wait to have a CLEAN house where we can COOK, all of our stuff is put away in a specific place and we are near our friends and family. Adjusting to city life, to be quite honest, is going to be strange. We both hate that we're going to feel overwhelmed in our own city, but we've lived in a town of 6,000 for two years, it's what happen.
Ugh, I can't wait to have a kitchen that I can mop. We have carpet, nasty carpet, in our kitchen now and I don't even want to go in there. Blech.
Oh, and did I mention that a lot of our ability to move depends on the MOUNTAIN PASS? I mean, last February it was CLOSED for a week! Yikes! What if I get a job, we get a place to live, and I can't get across the pass? That would seriously be fucked up. The pass scares the shit out of me when it has even just a little bit of snow, but to drive a UHAUL over it sounds downright terrifying.
Damn. What a tough situation.
Is my food done, yet?
