It's April 1st...April fool's day! The joke is on me today because I got the delivery of a whole bunch of boxes, which means...I actually have to pack up all of my things! Not my favorite thing to do :( But the reward will be worth the effort as I set off on my great adventure with Keely and leave little worry behind.

My storage space is ready for me and we are moving everything in on April 23rd with some Newport Harbor High School muscle! All those meals I provided for my son Connor are finally going to pay off! I have enlisted Connor and a few of his friends to help me move ( I got 'em cheap!) and it should be fairly simple, as I have reduced my belongings from a somewhat spacious home to a small, two bedroom apartment's worth of "stuff".

Over the next couple of weeks I will be packing what is left of my life into boxes to go into storage for an unknown amount of time. It's strange to not have a plan for once, other than take off for Europe and see what happens after that. I like it though. The feeling of freedom and opportunity is a good one. Of course, we will see how I feel when I return...homeless and jobless!
