Training and Packing!

23 days until MOVE!

Good morning y'all,

Wow time is flying. I can't belive I am leaving in 23 days.

On Monday my friend and previous intern at my work started back here to train for my position with me - she's taking over administrative duties for me :) I am working on getting her up to speed and learning basically everything here that I do. I hope that it turns out well and that she gets to learn everything before I have to leave. She helped me sneak some boxes into my car after work yesterday, haha, which is a real help.

I've literally been coming home from work for the past two weeks and turning the PS3 on to watch episodes of Supernatural until it's time for bed. No joke. I pause it here and there to shower, eat, do laundry, and let the dogs out...but seriously, my brother was right. I love the show. I'm super upset though, because I am only on the beginning of season 3 and there are TONS of episodes to catch up on and I have only 23 days before I leave. I have a feeling I will be drinking lots of caffeine and staying at home glued to the tv the whole week after my job ends before I take off ;) See my little brother up and took off to LA two years ago in September with a girl and they ended up in a cheap young actors apartment place and apparently my brother met Jared Padalecki and his best friend there and they hung out a few times or something and so he wanted me to watch the show forever but it took me a while to give in. It's a terrific show and though I love me two handsome men, paranormal and supernatural things/myths/lores have always intrigued me.

So that's what I have been doing.

Last week I took two days off to help my best friend Kristin with her kids because she just had a third and her husband went back to work. It was nice spending time with her, helping, squeezing Daine's little cheeks and being surrounded by the feelings that newborns bring out in us all. I love them! They will be difficult to leave behind for sure.

After my shower break from Supernatural, I decided to get the huge boxes out of my car and start packing a little - I still have three weeks but I want to be able to organize and get documents that are important I may need.

Of course the first thing I did was go through my bookshelf and take all of my favorite series to box up (the heaviest too, it seems). Harry Potter, Sweep, Balefire, Hunger Games, Cleopatra, Uglies, Gemma Doyle, etc. They fit perfectly in two or three boxes. I then packed up little things like new toiletries I picked up in preparation and sublock and stuff. I will wait until next week to really go through all of my clothes to take with me. Shouldn't be too difficult I hope. I packed up my pictures and jewelry and little things I can't live without :)


That's all for now, time to continue training.

I am currently re-reading the book Divergent by Veronica Roth - I love it :) Four is so handsome!
