Eastward Ho!

it's entirely possible that a week from today, i could be loading everything i own and trucking to savannah, ga - my partially estranged husband and i had spoken, in the abstract (like everything else in my life), about moving (one thing we have in common is that we HATE phoenix - it's truly a desolate place to live, culturally bankrupt, crowded, getting expensive... oh, and there's the oppressive heat, too, of course) and we decided that it would be cool to move to savannah, ga - it's a smaller town, it's in the south, it's in the east, it's on the water, and there's plenty o' history there - what more can you ask for? so he applied for a couple of jobs (before you think i'm lazy be aware that he's got aerospace skills that are in demand in that area) and he got hired for one - here's the quandry - if he takes the job, he needs to show up for work on august 16 - yep, 2 weeks from today - which means that we would have to leave, no later than next tuesday to be able to get there in time. is it feasible to pack up everything and go? is it possible? sure, anything's possible if you put your mind to it, right? crap, now i sound like a successory - the control freak in me doesn't know how i feel about leaving our house vacant and letting our realtor sell it, but then the adventurer (adventuress?) in me wants to go - i think there's nothing worse than wondering "what if?" after the fact, you know?

and i'm SO scattered - on saturday, i thought it was tuesday, i don't know which way my head is going - i'm going to leave the post like this, because i'm positive that i'll be back to edit it later when i feel like less of a spaz
