Second-to-last day in IL
So, the scheduled time of departure is somewhere around the 7am hour on Saturday morning.
I'm almost ready to go. The majority of the stuff I am bringing is currently piled in my sister's room. I forgot she'd be coming home before I leave... she'll have to do some fancy maneuvering to get around it. Ha.
I now have a pod attached to my car. It's not a trailer, it's a pod. Think "Flight of the Navigator." That's what it looks like. Kinda cute, actually. Fits my car's "personality" pretty well. In fact, the hitch people called this morning to tell me the hitch on my "little car" was ready. Hee. My little Malibu. *pets* I hope my little V6 engine holds out! *crosses fingers*
I had an eye doctor appointment today. $239. After insurance. Good god! Those are some expensive contact lenses, let me tell ya. I had a bit of sticker shock. Meep. I checked 1-800-CONTACTS, though, and it turned out to be about the same. Bummer! And keeping with the medical theme here, tomorrow I have a full-out physical. Like, with drawing of blood and everything. EEEP! I do not like people piercing my skin and taking my blood. *chews fingernails*
Tonight, though, I went to Meg's for one last Indian Garden meal. Yummeh! Really good to see people one last time. Jamie, Craig, Em, Frank, Elenid, Meghan, and Anthony. Good, good times. And Sarah came! Yesterday, I randomly called her because I hadn't talked to her in a while, and she was like "Guess where I'm sitting right now? A's apartment in Chicago!" She thought I was in Washington this week, and I, obviously, thought she was down in central IL where she lives, so that was cool. I'm really glad I got to see her before I left, because I think New Years might have been the last time we got together. Goodness!
And that is really all the updating I have in me at the moment. I have to pack up the things that are strewn across my bed, so that I can SLEEP in it. And then I will sleep, because I'm a tad bit tired at the moment. *yawn*
T minus about 33 hours before I ship out.
