Common Knowledge

I've officially told pretty much everyone I can tell! I wasn't hiding it, per say, just cautious as I hadn't told my employer and didn't want them to find out from a third party. My boss was so supportive and kind. I couldn't have asked for my resignation to have gone better. Put my 30 days in with my landlord, and my extended family knows.

I actually used this to get back in touch with an aunt and uncle that I hadn't spoken to in years! It feels really good to have them around again. I'm not even sure why the distance was wedged in there in the first place, but thankfully, it's gone. I may also see them this weekend!

Official Countdown: 5 weeks, minus one day.

Booked my flight!!

I just booked my one way ticket to NYC! This is really happening. Something about having that confirmation makes this exponentially more real. I was trembling as my finger clicked the mouse. No "confirm" button has ever sealed my fate in such a definitive way before.

I must be excited, because I'm in detail planning mode. Those that know me best know that this is where I will begin to meticulously plan every detail. How many suitcases will I fly with? Will I take a cab from the airport or the subway? Should I ship my things or attempt to pack them? So much to still decide with less than 6 weeks to go!!

Breathe, Carrie... breeeaaaathe.

Official Countdown: 5.5 weeks remaining
