Four more days to go
Well, four more days of work left until I leave for Seattle.
I have to tell you, Internet, I'm really excited about going. Tomorrow I'm going shopping for some new clothes and paying off my car so that I can go there totally and completely stress free.
For those of you begging for an update, about two weeks ago, the settlement money FINALLY came in and it was off to the races as far as how fast I could conceivably blow through it. To date, I've spent roughly $5,000 of it. Yeah, I know that sounds like a lot, but it's not like I blew it on whore's and whiskey (though, the thought did occur to me.) I paid off just about every bill I have including the first credit card I got and paid my cellphone up to November just to be on the safe side. Also, $1,800 of it went to paying the taxes on the house so mom can continue to keep the deed without the city coming down on us. I'm seriously going to talk to her about putting a new addition into her will, making Ryan and Laura have to pay me back all the taxes and any and all improvements over $1,000 I make to the house after mom passes and we end up selling the house.
One thing I need to let you know about how all this money has changed me. Because it has and that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. The main way it's changed me is that most of the stress that was hovering over me a month ago is suddenly gone. I realized most of my problems were financial in nature and being able to take care of them in one easy step has gone a long way to bringing me back to my happy self once more.
So, happiness right now is the fact that I'm going on my first real vacation in four years in a manner of days. I'm going to try and not think much about the means in which I'm going to Seattle because my control issues aren't happy that I'm going to be thousands of feet above the planet for a few hours on Saturday with no working knowledge of how to fly a plane or fly period. Maybe this will be a good thing in that it may help me learn to not try and control everything around me or at least accept the fact that some things are out of my ability to shape and control. Or, I could get ripped just prior to getting on the plane and then Jason can have a fabulous time cleaning out his car after we get back to his place.
Either way, it's going to be an interesting adventure and the little kender in me just can't wait to see what happens. Maybe I'll be lucky and scare the shit out of whoever is sitting next to me. Oh, the pictures I will have to share will be priceless, I promise.

If you puke in my car, it will not be me who is doing the cleaning.
Looking forward to seeing you, Jon. :P
