crescendometrium

so i'm leaving for the chiricahua mountains in southeastern arizona next monday. i am presently packing (if you call sitting here typing "packing") my household items and having an ever-growing knot in my stomach.

it's nice that i have the house to myself most of the time. it's very difficult to leave a home, a beautiful garden, a dog, and a man that i love behind. but nobody is holding me back, and i do appreciate it. everyone has supported me, agreed that i am doing the "right thing" by following this goal, and gone out of their way to help me. that is far more than i could ask of anybody.

life these days has truly been a whirlwind. trying to keep straight so many thoughts and plans and lists inside my head is rather exhausting and has ultimately left me numb.

in fact, it's difficult for me to think up anything else to type, because i'm quite literally swamped with other details to face. until then...
