Right now I'm surrounded by boxes, bins, clothing... what's left of my belongings. the only plan i can formulate at this point is to move from Nebraska (where i've been for a year) to my parents' house in New Hampshire. I'm nearly 27 years old and moving back in with my parents. i hope to hell it's temporary, but who knows right now.
i have a good job lead with a major pharma company, so right now it's just the waiting game. waiting is the worst part.
i'm running out of money so instead of getting things into storage, i'm selling and giving away and donating all of my belongings that don't have intense sentimental value or are necessary for my survival. i will fit what i can into my car, and everything else needs to find a home. this means my pet rat went back to the no-kill shelter, my two bettas need homes, and so do my two houseplants. i'm giving away holiday gifts i never even had a chance to use. i'm ebaying an old laptop i don't want to carry and shouldnt be thrown away. at least i'm making a little money during this process, with gas prices as high as they are.
i'm trying to make this trip "fun" by stopping at friends' houses on the way. (i'm also saving in hotel costs.) but like my T suggested, the instability of a month-long road trip might be more than I can handle right now. but one way or the other, i have to get to NH. i'm running out of money quickly. I can't find a job fast enough.
i'm on new meds... started lamictal and it seems to be doing wonders. i had one problem day out of the lasat few weeks. not bad. i wish i could sleep-- i havent slept (really slept) in weeks. sleeping pills don't seem to do anything for me.
anyhow. i just wanted to check in. ive been reading the boards and trying to stay up... you're in my thoughts, and i always think good ones for you babblers. thanks for all you do.
