I'm a travelin' Woman

I'm currently sitting on a little piece of my bed that is not covered with all sorts of stuff. It's weird. In just a couple of hours I will be out of my apartment...again. I was only here a year but it became home for me and Angel. This place was something new too at the beginning of this last year. It marked my first ever experience with a roommate. It was an overall really good experience and I'm thinking about getting another roommate when I get home. Anyways, I realized sitting here that I've moved A LOT since July of 2002. My last place as a live in nanny I was there for 5 months, and before that I had my own place for 2 1/2 years, and a year before that I was in 3 different places. For the next few days it'll be my mom's place, but that's only till Saturday. From there, as the scholars say, I'm about to embark on a fabulous journey... A journey that will include 19 more homes in a 6 month period. Wow.

Just today, I remembered how to breath again. For the last week my mind and emotions have been all over the place. Today was the first day that I felt somewhat normal. I think it's because I'm almost actually there...and it's a great feeling when there isn't so much to worry about. Well, anyways, was just taking a short break. My next post will be written from my next leg of the trip- my mom's house.
