Wow. I'm about to turn in my letter of resignation. 17 years (almost) I've been working here at the MU Vet School. That's a long long time. And at the end of this month, it'll be over. No more regular paycheck -- instead I'll have to earn $42k/year just to pay the rent on the commercial space.

It's exciting. It's terrifying. It's sad. I'm feeling so many emotions right now, I can't belive it. Friday August 29 will be my last day here. Then the next day we drive to Delaware to get my son moved into his college dorm (freshman at the Univ. of Delaware), drive home and then I start full time in my new space. Wow.

Oh, and as for that new space -- it's not a done deal yet. But it's really, really close. (How long have I been saying that now? ) The only issue remaining is the air conditioning, and tomorrow morning I'm meeting with the property owners (just us, no real estate brokers, no lawyers, no e-mail, no phones -- just us meeting in the space we're talking about), and we're going to work this out. We all understand each other's positions now, we all want to make the other happy, it's just figuring out the best way to do it. Once that's settled, we'll get the lease signed and move on.

Then I get to start REALLY spending money -- just in time for the paycheck to go away. Ok, so I'm nuts. Tell me something I DON'T know!

I just want to simultaneously celebrate, panic, cry, and just generally have a meltdown.

Wheee!!!!
