Wow. I mean, wow, there's a lot of stuff in this apartment. Anyone who knows me knows I like to be prepared (never a Girl Scout, I think I've overcompensated as an adult), so my attempts to purge have been met with a great deal of resistance and stress. But I'm trying.
The last few weeks have been extremely busy; I was in Winchester, VA for training for two weeks (where I acquired EVEN MORE STUFF). But finally, training has come to an end!! And now, I'm on an official countdown to departure. Things are falling into place. Even if I may have a different housing assignment (still up in the air), I don't actually have tickets yet (end of the fiscal year/waiting to avoid the impending shutdown), my social sponsors have been dropping like flies (I haven't even met them yet!!)..... OK, maybe not exactly into place, but close enough for Government work (see what I did there??)
My departure is tentatively set for Oct. 29. But have no fear, somehow, that will get screwed up, too :)
Now I just need to purchase, sort and pack stuff for a house that I haven't seen, buy food and toiletries for a set amount of time, and ship out all the stuff ahead of time that I can (thank goodness I can send all my work stuff ahead!). I'm making arrangements to ship my car out ahead of time and trying to figure out when to get Hobbes in for his pre-flight checkup (yes, that's a thing). So if I'm a little stressed, that's why!
Until next time.... :)
