Preparing for the Next Big Adventure

Tomorrow we're going on a trip to Illinois to look for a place to live! It's both exciting and terrifying. I do think I'll feel calmer about yet another big move when I know EXACTLY where I'm moving to, though.

I was really busy in October, working and writing. I actually got everything I had planned to get done...done. I'm taking a nominal week "off" for our trip and then I'll be working on dissertation revisions and such. I'm anxious about that too, but my advisor thinks it's totally doable. (As my friend Kate said: FFS you know that SHE wouldn't lie to you about that! Which is true.) Basically I'm just a ball of anxiety and trying to power my way through it.

November and December will be working, packing, etc. And then the big move will be beginning of January, or at least, that's our rough plan.

I'm going to miss Colorado, or rather, bits of it. I'll miss our cute little house and the mountains and the Shakespeare Festival. But I'm really excited about my new job, and hopefully getting to make new friends and stuff!!

Anyhow, wish us luck!!!!!!!!!
