(no subject)
I leave for Colorado the day after tomorrow. Most of my stuff is packed and tomorrow I'll be doing the final touches with laundry and loading up the car. The only thing I should have to load Monday is my computer. The first few days of my route is completely planned. Monday I'll be driving to Clearwater where I'll spend the night at my dad's friend's house. Tuesday I'll be driving from Clearwater to Pensacola, which is going to be a very long day indeed. I plan to stay in Pensacola through Wednesday to see some people then I'll be leaving for Mississippi Thursday. In Mississippi I'll be meeting up with my father and from there I'm not certain what we'll do. It's likely we'll land up having to get a motel room for a night.
I'm both excited and nervous. I've been having a hard time sleeping at night due to anxiousness and anxiety and my sleep schedule is terrible. I've been going to sleep at 3 and waking up past one, which isn't going to go well once I have to start driving. Thankfully I don't plan to leave until around 11ish on Monday so I won't be too dog tired. I'll likely take some sleeping pills early Sunday night just to make sure I get some sleep.
Most of the raid has become very lax and the drive to progress has definitely waned. Most are burnt out on the game or simply don't care anymore if we're stagnant. We lost a really good healer when he quit and picked up a mediocre one, making our healing situation even worse considering our paladin healer (who we have had since Wrath) has always been lacking. Then the raid leader has said he will not be able to commit once his job starts, the co-lead and our main tank quit abruptly, there was some mild drama going on (funny how much World of Warcraft resembles fandom and some aspects) and I finally decided to bow my way off the stage. I did encounter a decent raid on my shaman this past Tuesday and I was impressed by their other healers. Their raid has been hurting desperately for a third healer and I did a good enough job they were more than accepting when I tossed the idea of joining them around. So once I do land in Colorado and get everything set up I have another raid waiting for me.
It does make me sad to see the raid I helped create with a friend of mine disintegrate, especially considering there were some people in there I had been raiding with for the past four years. But there were a few people in there I will not miss, namely two people whose sense of entitlement drove more than just me nuts. R.I.P Irregardless.
I got my hair dyed and cut before departing. I originally wanted it dark brown but my hair dresser made it a little too dark, making it nearly black. I actually like it. I thought black wouldn't go well since my skin is so pale but yesterday when my mother and I went out to eat to celebrate my departure I got hit on twice. I guess I'm not the only one thinks it looks good.
Colorado or bust.
