Still alive
May 22, 2008
To those of you who have expressed concern, no, I’m not dead, just BUSY. Anybody interested in my grand plan? No? Tough!
Step 1: Pawn off as many belongings as possible (does anyone want my vinegar collection?), and pack up the rest.
Step 2: Move everything (minus what will be coming with me to Oregon in the Yaris) into a storage facility on Saturday.
Step 3: Fly to Portland on Sunday. I’ll be staying with Al and Fee until Tuesday, then I’m taking a bus to Redmond, where I will do my training for a week.
Step 4: Come back to Michigan, work for a week and a half, then I’m DONE. I’ll be staying with my parents and/or friends until June 23.
Step 5: Fly to Portland AGAIN for my first 2-week rotation.
Step 6: Fly back to Michigan, get my car and my Laurel and drive out there for real.
I’m still in the early-to-mid phase of Step 1, I’m freaking out a little. There’s a lot of ins and outs, a lot of what-have-yous. Sorry to those of you haven’t gotten a return call yet, it’ll happen during or after Step 4. Wish me luck!
