Homeless...

Today is a momentous day in starting the journey, I'm officially homeless.  After a great breakfast saying goodbye to Colleen, Haku and Kala, I cleaned out of my apartment.  Moving out has been in the works for a month now but seeing it empty made me sad and anxious.  I'm sad because it won't be long until I have to say goodbye to everyone, and I'm anxious because this trip is really happening.  Pretty scared, actually.  I've never put all my stuff in a backpack and just wandered around and I really don't know what to expect.  Everyone tells me that I'll have a great time and meet lots of new friends and love it but until I get started I'm kinda freaked out.
So until Saturday I'll be roommates with Solbug and all I have left to do is pack what I'm bringing and take the rest to storage.  And clean out my truck.  That'll be tough too, I've had that truck for 13 years.  At least she's going to a good home.

My fave orange slippers.  Poor things didn't make the packing list.
Hard to let things go.

aloha friday, or procrastination day. again.

today's plan was to move my couch and some boxes into storage, order my backpack, take books to sell and clothes to goodwill.  here's what happened instead...

and since it's friday, now it's time to go out.  will try again on monday.

packing up, drinking...

first test blog.  wondering how to monetize, and if it would make everyone hate me.

other than that, trying to work out all the little kinks in my plan.  i can't believe that i've been 'planning' this for months and have nothing planned.  i don't even have a backpack yet.  first essential piece of gear and i haven't even thought about it, and now i'm stressed.  or, i was stressed about alot of stuff but let's add something else.

packing up the apartment is going fairly well.  why do i save so much crap?  if i didn't move so much i'd be one of those shut-ins with years of junk piled up leaving only skinny walkways from room to room.

thanks for the tequila mark, i'm going to bed.
