Here I sit, 2:30 or so in the morning, contemplating the rest of my life. By the time this day is over, nothing will really be the same anymore. I will be in a (mostly) new town, looking for a new job, a new place, a new patch of space to call my own. I have support, which makes it easier, but it is still very scary to be staring down the precipice at change looming ever nearer.
New place. I'll be living, for a time, with my father and grandmother. This is only temporary, but will be longer than I'd planned. I need employment making a certain wage before the apartment complex will take me. I am considering asking for my deposit back and looking for something on the Waynesboro side of the mountain. Less wear on the car, more family, more sanity. I simply wish I could have found out the situation at the time the rental agent was supposed to call. Instead, three phone calls and two left messages later, I find out she has left for vacation until the 3rd and told a co-worker to give me a message about my status. Pissy party bitch. No, I'm not kind, there. I think it's pretty bad business sense to not have the courtesy to return not one, but two phone calls in a four hour period. Ah, well, life goes on.
New job. There's a surprising amount of stuff in the area, even ten minutes up the road to Staunton. I have no fear of finding some gainful employment in the area.
New town. Well...not really. I've visited there before, but I don't know my way around well. Exploration will be fun.
I'm calm. Surprisingly. It'll probably re-hit me later in the day as time wears on. Until then, I'll be okay.
I don't know when I'll be able to post again, but I'll try to check in. Miss all of you.

You are being given an opportunity to grow here, to build up your self-reliance, to become stable, so that perhaps you can provide support to others. From my experience, that there is perhaps the most powerful thing one can achieve.
Just remember: You've got people pulling for you out here. *hugs* BTW: Happy new year!
