Four More Days

We have four days until we leave. We are in the process of saying goodbye to people and places. Mostly we are hanging out in the hotel room. All very melancholy. It is hard to be around the people and places we love and will most likely never see again. It seems like it would be nice to be around it one last time, but it isn't very appealing right now.

We are having all kinds of things go wrong. Little frustrations to keep us busy I guess. And I keep buying things like food. Everyday I brings bags and bags of things into the hotel, like I am stocking up for winter. Trying to get rid of things, but it isn't going well instead I am accumulating things. Must be the part of my brain that hasn't yet accepted the fact that we are leaving.

Awww sweetie. I know it can't be easy leaving a place where you've enjoyed living so much. I'm glad y'all had the chance to travel while you were there and have been able to accumulate a lot of good memories.

i can't imagine making such a big move. i've spent my entire life within 350 miles from where i was born. i've never left my home state.

I'm missing you already! I'm in the habit of checking in even though I didn't expect a new post. Glad to see you are still connected, even though you are stuck in some weird holding pattern.

I hate goodbye's too.
