long day

I got up really early this morning. Well, for me it was early. About 8am. I was already completely anxiety ridden and now I'm having landlord issues at my Cleveland place. I hope everything works out ok. I don't need any more problems on my list.

I began packing immediately after waking. I worked on the kitchen for a few hours, cleaning things and throwing out crap I don't need to drag to Georgia. I have to admit, every time I find little things I get a bit emotional. A card, a note, a clipped coupon, for goodness sake. They all do something to me. Doesn't matter who they're from, they get to me right now.

I was overwhelmed at first this morning but I feel a lot better that all the cupboards and drawers are cleared out. My next task is the other half of the kitchen containing a bookshelf and my computer desk. I have so much crap piled everywhere. I honestly don't know why I keep so many random pieces of paper that have no meaning or use. I'm a packrat. Just like mom. Hah.

I went out last night with the guy I met last week. It was a decent time. We went to a downtown bar, met up with my friend Tara who was working, and ended up at her boyfriend's bar. I got a rose from the guy I was with, which I believe I left in his car. Oh well. It was the thought that counts.

By 3pm I was completely exhausted. Went to grab a pack of cigarettes and heard my Jeep making really strange sounds. Great. Thats all I need right now! It sounds like the power steering fluid may be low. Yeah, I don't know that for sure, thats what some girl at work told me and I'll just go with that. I hope its nothing major. Thank goodness I'm towing that beast down to Georgia, I don't want it to die on the way there. Should be ok though. Maybe I'll take it in to the shop to have it looked at.

I am hoping I've saved enough money for this trip. I'm getting down to the wire. I only have 4 or 5 more days of work left before its time to pack it up and get moving. Scary and crazy and sad and exciting all at the same time. But I'll be ready for it.

I still want to go to Youngstown on Friday. I need to check my finances though. Maybe I'll need to get a bit of cash from the parents... I hope gas stays cheap, I'm only estimating 150 for the truck. I really hope that's all it will be.

The weather in Cleveland is so terrible. It hasn't felt like summer in ages. Its cool and wet and rainy. The nights are getting cold too. Screw El Nino. This is a crappy summer, weatherwise.

I've been hitting up the old myspace again lately. I need help for moving. Not a ton, just a few good people to help with boxes on Wednesday. The big stuff, eh I'm pretty sure me and Tara's boyfriend can handle that ourselves. Yes, it will suck. But moving my couches and bed down 4 storeys should be easier than it was getting them up. We have gravity on our side this time. Phew, I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
