In just 3 full days, I'm leaving Virginia. The thought has given me a lot of doubt. I'm afraid that moving won't be as good as I hoped. I'm afraid that my Alabama friends won't really be my friends anymore. I'm afraid that my plan to get healthy in 2008 will be a bust.
But there are good thoughts as well. I really look forward to being closer to my Mom. I look forward to not feeling afraid when I go to bed. I look forward to closing this law chapter behind me, so I can begin my life. Not that I don't want a legal career, I just think that in 2008 I can get past the legal crap and get towards a job and really being able to exercise all I've learned. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else, but it does to me.
Happy New Year to all!! I love my friends and family.

It's Moving Time!
It occurred to me this morning that I'm moving in 11 days. It's so soon! I have a million things to do to get ready. I'm hoping there will be less chaos this time around.
My landlady is coming up for an initial move-out assessment on the 27th. I think that's Thursday. Man, I better start cleaning like my life depends on it! (Or, more accurately, my security deposit.)
I never turn down help, so if you're in the area, I've got boxes with your name on them.

A Good Friend
Right now, I'm worried that my friend D. is upset with me. She is allergic to cats, yet, she and her husband told me a story about taking care of a neighbor's cat. In the interim, I asked her and her husband to help me move in to my new apartment.
So, I have to be sure that my cat doesn't set them off. (Her husband is also allergic.)
Regardless, I love her.
I found that B. doesn't agree with me when it comes to the death penalty. I respect her beliefs. I think I'm just really glad that we can talk about our thoughts and beliefs without being mad at each other.
I'm really grateful for these friends.

New Jersey
I love my friend B., and she is linked to my blog (although not as high as a week ago, which I will fix, I promise). I disagree with her when it comes to the death penalty. It used to be, years ago, that death was swift and horrific. That doesn't make that penalty OK. It just means, to me, that as a society we get a superiority complex about other people.
I guess my point is, we (meaning me) feel bad when a male tiger kills the offspring that are not his. Yet, somehow, we think it's OK to kill another person.
I am a HUGE, BIG fan of life without parole. But state-sanctioned murder is not OK with me.
And I hope I never have to be in the situation of a family member whose loved one was murdered.

HEY!
Hey, you seven states which haven't made animal cruelty a felony yet...I'm talking to you!
The list is:
Mississippi
Arkansas
North Dakota
South Dakota
Idaho
Utah
Alaska
Get it together, and join the other 43! There is absolutely no reason to condone cruelty. None. These crimes are horrific and systemic.

I Think...
That my cat is going blind, if he's not blind already.
That moving home is going to be harder than I imagine. I think it'll be better, too.
That becoming a lawyer isn't my passion, but that I'll be good at it and it'll pay the bills.
That getting older is a blessing, and maybe I'll find my passion along the way.
That my family is a bunch of maniacs who are all waiting to be screwed by each other. I wish it weren't true, though, and I will try to make it better.
That expecting someone to know what I want and need is dumb. But sometimes, it's even dumber when I have to tell my own truth.
That having a fireplace is a gift.
That I'm grateful for my friends and family.
That it will get better, and if it's not better, it's not over.

Random
Tomorrow I better get my act together and get to the District so I can return my Bar/Bri books and get the refund. I'm sorely low on cash right now and it's kinda scary.
My cat just barfed on the kitchen floor. At least it was on linoleum and not on the carpet.
I need sun! It's been grey and overcast here for 3-ish days and it's getting to me. Reminds me of Cleveland.
My brother-in-law asked me to send him a wish list for Christmas. He gets a fab discount, but still, I was a good girl.
If the weird dreams don't stop, I'm going to start to get concerned.
