Shippin' up to Boston

So a lot has happened in the past few days.

A very good friend of mine from college came down and she, my sister, and I spent the entire day at Disney World. Understand, when I say all day, I meant we parked the car and didn’t get back into it until 12 hours later. We screamed on the Rockin’ Rollercoaster, we dined in England, we squealed with joy on Big Thunder Mountain and we nearly vomited on the magic teacups. All in all, it was an incredible, perfect, wonderful day and the perfect sendoff to my 25 years in Florida.

Then, I said goodbye to my friends at work and this morning I hugged my mom and my cat goodbye. That was hard. I still remember how my eyes burned.

Immediately after, I spent 14 hours in a truck, loaded with my entire life, with my Dad slowly traveling from Florida up to Virginia where we’ve stopped for the night, 800 miles from where we started. It really didn’t start to get bad until the 8th hour or so but the fact that I only slept about 2 hours last night surely didn’t help. Plus I got to see these:

which I hadn’t seen in a very long time.

Tonight will be a very, very different story. I had the best freaking beer I’ve ever had in my life, a delicious broccoli and cheese soup, salad and an amazing shower.

I fully intend to be unconsciousness within the hour.

Tomorrow, it’s on to Connecticut where Dad and I are spending another night before I finally reach my new home in Boston.

For now though, there is a comfy bed calling my name.
