Day #1 Moving Process

Greetings and Salutations,
     I'm Back from Mars. My butt hurts. Just kidding. Things, to say the very least, have been crazy in my life. I'll catch you up as we go along, but I am in the process of packing up, saying goodbye to Charleston and my friends, and moving out to San Francisco California. There have been so many MANY things going on since I last blogged. I plan to use this platform again as I have in the past, as a chronicle to the pathway I am currently on. My journey in life.
     Before it was exercising and getting moving. While that has temporarily (as in many months) fallen to the way side, it will be in the forefront again ASAP. I plan to get back on my bike and into the pool again as I go through the moving process. Once I get moved I will get back to it again ASAP. While I have been derailed from the great path I was on, I haven't lost sight of my goals. Fitness will be mine. I'm just gonna have to be patient.
     I know some of you who read this blog also follow me on Lifecheerleader, so the story telling will be a bit redundant, but there are people here who don't follow the other blog and if I don't give some background information it won't make sense as to why I am doing what I am doing when before it was all about being physical.
     I'll keep the chit-chat story telling brief and to the point. This blog is more about putting rubber to the road and that is why I have two blogs. They give me an outlet for both the cerebral/thoughtful and task oriented sides of my brain.
     I have given up my job (last day was Friday) and today is Day #1 in my book of the clock ticking and needing to get things in order to leave and dive into the next chapter in my life. I will get a job once I am in San Francisco. Now is about packing up and having closure to my life in Charleston. It as if  "Charleston" is a lover and I need time to say good bye. Does that sound hokey?
     People keep asking when am I gonna leave. I'm not really sure. I mean I am sure it will be the Month of March. But I just don't know what day. The current plan is to listen out for my inner voice. It will tell me when I've seen all I need to see (including friends), do all I need to do, and feel ready.
     I have had a situation "fall" into my lap after putting it out in the world about renting my house and I am currently working out those details. It connects with an earlier possibility and it will be interesting to see how it all works out in the end.
     I may additionally have the option to not have to hire a management company for the rental of my house at least in the beginning. Not that I don't see the efficacy of that as much as it just might not be needed until it is needed ya know? We shall see. Anyway-- enough chit-chat. More later.
     Onto what is in the Que for tasks to be done Feb 24th and 25th:
(1) Clean kitchen, den, and dining room. (disgustingly dirty..ewwww)
(2) Clean out and wash my truck
(3) Start the Turbo Tax process (taxes make me swimmy headed. I say "start" so I actually will)
(4) Renew South Carolina Nursing Licence
(5) Make personal goals for next 3 months and email them to my goal partner (way behind on this task)
(6) Go to the grocery store ( I detest grocery shopping, but I have to buckle down and use my rubles wisely)
     So I need to get out of here and get onto the list! I will keep you up on the process (hopefully daily) and how I am doing. As I did when I was headed out to the pool or the road to bike, it helps to feel a sense of accountability. It greatly increases your success at achieving the goals you set. I need to feel accountable to someone so I will keep myself on track. Hope you don't mind if I take the chance and bore you for awhile. I promise when I get out to San Francisco the stories will get interesting. In that town, are you kidding??

Tootles :)
