Oh man, living on a boat sounds so wonderful. Fingers crossed for a quick sale, Laura.
So ... New Boy is coming over today while I work and make beef stew and putter. Which is happy-making. (He has a few days off, because of vacation he needed to take.) I would normally be worried about Too Much, Too Soon, but I'm too happy to be worried today, so.
But I'll be starting over from zero. I have literally nothing. A few possessions. So I'll need a job. A car. A life. Lol But I have nothing but excitement when I think about it. I've had zero control for seven years and now my future is up to me to create!
Callaluna, having been almost exactly where you hare two years ago, I'm so glad you're doing this. Because everything is possible! It's not to say it isn't hard work sometimes, but the freedom and the control over your own life is so very much worth it. YAY!
I have literally nothing.
You have no encumbrances. You have a loving family in Maine, and here!
Yay, Callaluna! I'm so happy for you.
I didn't call in sick, but I'm still not 100% sure I made the right call.
Also, it's looking likely that I'll be spending Thanksgiving by myself. My friends who usually have a bunch of us orphan-types over don't seem to be having their annual thing this year. I'm not too bothered by it, because my friends are having our 19th (!!!) annual Friends' Thanksgiving this Saturday, which is pretty awesome, and is the real holiday for me, but I am feeling a little extra-fragile this year. But then again, hanging out with the cat and eating Chinese and watching Captain America movies isn't such a bad way to spend the day, especially when I have to work the football game the next day.
ETA: Hooray for New Boy!
Congratulations on the fresh start, Callaluna!
Yay for Amy having good times!
Good luck with the house, Laura, that sounds like a smart thing to do.
amyth, I'm guessing this wouldn't work since you have to work the next day, but if there's any chance you feel like driving to Nashville for Thanksgiving, you are always welcome here!
Jesse, has the Miranda family's recreation of "Do-Re-Mi" made it to Good Stuff yet?
Oh Kate, I would love to so much, thank you! I miss you all like crazy!! But yeah, with the working the next day and everything...blah. If only I could beam myself to Nashville!
Really, it will probably be nice and restful. I am crazy busy before and after, I just got back from traveling, will be traveling in December and January, I have no shortage of friends and loved ones that I would love to see if I could make it work. It's just the idea of the day, more than the actual fact of the day. But I need to let that go and rest and relax!
However, I need to get back to see you all someday in the not-too-distant future.

What?! No!! Because it has not made it to my eyeballs yet!!
