wha-hoah SG folks. I want to make this clear straight from the outset. I have not gone with this little sleep and this much drink this many days in a row since commencement week in college. But this is not a drunk journal. I'm just tired.
Things I mentioned in past journals are now concluding themselves. Although not in the manner I had wished. I have cleaned up the co-worker triangle, but there's no more closure than there was a few days ago - just the knowledge that I won't see either of them in the next two days, and then I'll be 2,000 miles away.
The nightmare / spooky dream came true. She's here, in the shower now. And like an idiot, I'm falling all over again. Which is going to make it that much harder to say goodbye later today. Thus far I've been only marginally stupid - hopefully I don't do something flagrantly stupid soon.
Packing nears being done. There are another two days after today in Iowa - after that, I'm on the road beginning early in the AM on the 17th. I figure I'll be on the road 2-3 days, then reach PDX. Then unpacking and getting computer re-set-up, I may be gone for a week or so, and I sincerely hope this isn't the last journal entry before the trip - but if it is - don't take it personal.
I REALLY need to do laundry.
I hope Meph is having a restful and relaxing time in Santa Cruz.
I hope this all turns out ok.
I hope.

Sorry to hear about the dream/nightmare. I can only say you have made your bed.
The trip should take about 2.5 days, as I made it from PDX to MN in that time when returning my ex after I broke up with him. That is a story in and of itself.
Get sleep, finish packing, and if you don't start your journey westward "on time" don't worry, there are no deadlines you're working against. At least not to my knowledge.
Good luck with the journey. If you've never driven cross-country it's something else to watch as the terrain changes.
