well, at roughly 3pm eastern standard time, i’ll be breaking the imac down and loading the truck and hitting the road.
i have no idea if the deposit check will be in today’s mail or not, but if it isn’t it makes no sense to continue waiting, particularly as everything else hinges on my not being here beyond today (rent due tomorrow, prorations, etc.).
so i’m hoping the damn thing shows up today, yes, but mostly i’m just looking forward to being on the road and having things in motion.
i think i can make chicago by tonight, and the real stretch doesn’t start until i hit 90-W across north dakota and montana. i have no idea how the cats are going to take it. but i reckon that’s part of the adventure.
you know, when i think about it, i’m just about the freest person i know. which feels odd sometimes. i have had five people in the course of the last week say to me (with various degrees of envy in their voice), “i wish i could do something like that.”
like my grandma used to say, “can’t never could.”
my recruiter said to email him when i get there. he’s going to put me in touch with the seattle branch. there’s a mertic TON of work in the area (i’ve been scanning the listings) so i’m excited for the opportunities.
anyway…. nap time soon, then lunch, then….. on the road. 🙂
