Oh The Places You Will Go!

9 More Days.

I leave on the 10th day. Eep!

This has been a pretty great week:

  •  I managed to sell my car for the price I was asking for.
  •  I received my 401K check and, after depositing last night, it was available this morning!
    • I paid off the last of my cards this morning!
    • Just need to drop a couple checks in the mail
  • Bought the last of what I need for service (I hope!)
  • My mommy bought me a Kindle. I loaded it with the free classics on Amazon and with my PC related materials that I converted to PDFs so I can study on the go!
  • I had no issues with Verizon when it came to cancelling my service. It falls under their military information, if you were wondering.  The bummer part is I am not getting a refund of my most recent payment, so I will have service until April 6th, even though I leave on March 22!
I still need to:
  • Find Cortez a home
  • Study Ukrainian! I want to know the alphabet and counting (at least) before I get there.
  • Yard sale this weekend to get some extra cash for service.
  • Hair cut since it has been far too long. Maybe dye it as well, we'll see.
  • Return some items to Old Navy that won't fit in my carry-on
  • Partake in some Cracker Barrel
  • Pack up the last of my stuff at my Meme's and bring it to my mom's for storage.
  • Get a power of attorney set up
  • Inform my bank
  • Look through Staging paperwork
  • Get spices
But really, I am feeling so much less stress since selling my car, that was my biggest worry.  It is a bummer though because now I am car-less! This weekend I'll have my mom's since she and her husband just left for Bike Week in Daytona and I am at her house for the weekend with my siblings :)
