Just As I Thought

Ticking off time

Been too busy, stressed, and freaked out to post lately. So, here’s what is going on: spent Christmas in Stockton with the parents of one of my friends. Realized that the reason I am cold all the time is the blood thinners. Duh.
Now I’m packing for the big move, pondering what to pack where — for the moving van, for my trip to DC on January 2, or for my final drive to DC on January 11. It is a little logistical puzzle: what items will I need up to the last moment, like my big office computer (still have freelance work to finish before I leave)… what clothes will I need for the first week in DC at a new job before the moving van arrives… how little can I pack for 7 days on the road with two people and a dog in a two-seater roadster with a teensy trunk?
I already packed stuff last week, mostly books and the like. Then I sat around wishing I had something to read.
Five days until the end of the year and the end of my California adventure.
If you know anyone interested in renting a charming 2-bedroom bungalow near Santa Clara University, let me know!
