I'm getting ready to leave this lovely apartment I've called home for the past year.
This has been a good place, I've got memories of my first Christmas alone here, and pumpkin carving with friends for Halloween on the deck, and the kitties downstairs who greet me after work each night.
One good thing to happen: my new neighbors have begun setting out fresh water and food for Big Fella, so I know he and his broken tail won't go hungry. Little Fuzz has been nowhere to be seen for the past week, and I think she's gone to the Great Kitty House in the Sky. I miss her. She used to let me pet her while she was eating, and we got along great.
The idea of packing up the house and loading the Honda full again feels so damn daunting - and I'm a little stressed in that I don't have a new contract yet. My recruiter is on vacation and while I have a replacement recruiter, it's not the same. So to say I'll be a little on edge until I get a contract signed is probably a ginormous understatement.
I'm going to really miss Seattle. Kind of wish I wasn't leaving. It's so beautiful here, and I like the people a lot. But there's no point in being a traveler if I'm not going to travel - right?
That said, there are big changes and challenges around the corner, and I think I need a good shakeup before I get to them, to prepare a little.
Going to sleep now. More packing or cleaning awaits me tomorrow.
