I think when it comes down to it, it's the fact that in general I'm so out of touch with my own emotions that a lot of them throw me for a loop. I didn't expect to feel any sadness about leaving this place. It's a veritable dump, and my life's been hard here the past several years.
Kind of like when my step-dad died and my mom and I went up to his "funeral" (he was cremated, and his "service" was a huge potluck with family and friends) and then spread his ashes along the railroad tracks he'd worked on most of his life. I never liked my stepdad and we never got along, but I found myself sad when we were on the back of the train spreading his ashes, and it completely startled me.
I totally can't wait to get there! I was already dreading today and tomorrow and now Im sick to make it worse.. sigh.. I just want to be THERE like. instantly lol.. My apartment will be totally empty, but Ill have fun gathering furniture and decor for it
Well... I guess I'm not completely dreading the drive, it's just a matter of I have my 2 cats along with me and I worry how they're going to handle it. I've got them a nice sized soft-sided crate, I'll line it with some pee-pads just in case.. and I've got a small litter box to bring a long.. I'm just deliberating as to whether I should put the box in the crate with them and take up half of their space to stretch out in.. Or leave the box out. Some ladies at the pet store told me they've always left the box out on long hauls and their cats never go to the bathroom until they've stopped for the nights. A couple friends have told me that THEIR cats do nothing but poop out of nervousness on trips...
I really have nothing to gauge by, the longest car trip my cats have been on is to the vet and back, not even 10 minutes one way lol
Thank you! I definitely can't wait to get to my new apartment.. I'll have literally no furniture (save my bed, desk, couple of book shelves, and an oak chest) because I'm leaving my 2 pieces of ratty furniture behind.. but getting new to fill that huge new apartment will be half the fun!

I understand. My home mortgage is only about $125 extra bucks compared to my tiny studio apartment back in Los Angeles.
Have a safe trip!

It's 512 sq/ft larger than my apartment here in the Bay, and it's $245 cheaper! :)

Definitely the biggest positive to living in the South is the cost of living!
