4.19 - Undertow of the Doubts

May 29, 2005 23:01

When I came back for a little break, I had ten objectives that I wanted to accomplish before going back into the mire that is Meadville. Among those, I got all the furniture for my apartment, I got my computer repaired, I dyed my hair black again and had it cut short so I can flip it up, I went to see Barrick and Gray (not Daniels though), and decided that travel in my future is best left consigned to the future, for now. There's enough going on in my life that I don't need to distract myself with the problems I'll face years from now. The next week has plenty of problems to deal with.

Here's my tentative schedule: Monday morning I'm going to drive back to Meadville with Dad and about half of my stuff since we bought more than I counted on and the car carrier is broken i.e. my Dad doesn't know how to mount it. We'll arrive around noon or early afternoon and unpack my belongings into the second floor apartment where I'll be residing until Wednesday when my apartment becomes available since the eloping couple who are there now haven't left yet. I think I'll need to do an exorcism after they're gone to get rid of the bad vibes I get from them. That or just clean the place top to bottom, which I'm going to do anyway. My Dad will leave sometime Monday afternoon to go down to Pittsburgh to see Emmitt. Monday night I'll have free time just to veg, watch movies, and prep for Tuesday. Tuesday I work from 9-5 on Reunion Weekend stuff. The contest here is that I need to be at the apartment to get keys and sign for my desk that is going to be delievered. Tuesday and Wednesday I'll move from the second floor apartment to the third floor, 705c Baldwin Street. Wednesday morning I'll start unpacking, but I'm working 12-5, so there'll be interruption. I won't have a totally free day until Sunday. And next Monday, I start working at the Wise Center. I'll do that for five days at which point I'll come back to Carlisle to join my family for a week at the Outer Banks. That is if I decide to, I still haven't made up my mind.

It's going to be a rough two weeks and I'm honestly feeling very apprehensive. It may turn out to be all in my head, but it might not and that's what concerns me. Plus, I feel like I'm leaving Carlisle at a bad time. There are several loose ends flapping in the wind with most of my friends and if May sweeps and season finales have taught me anything over the years, it is that I hate cliffhangers. My family is also getting into some drama and I simply don't want to deal with it. If I could feed the world with all the food for thought I have, I could single-handedly end world hunger.

Tonight I'm not going to get much sleep, I have to finish packing, start moving stuff to the car, get a shower, decide what stays after the car is packed, finish doing laundry, and get everything taken care of. Failing that, pack it all up and take it with me. I'll write in a few days to update the status of life and whatnot, but until then, wish me luck. I am going to need it!
