so close

It's almost here!

Moving day that is. The day I say goodbye to my first home, my first house, my soon to be ex-husband and my small town life. I'm excited, but apprehensive. I want this, but even more, I just want the move over with. I hate moving.

I packed up most of the rest of the odds and ends last night. The only things I have left: the computer, the kitchen radio, the dvd player, the pantry, the freezer. Boo.

Oh ya, I also need to: remove my name on the house insurance, split the vehicle insurance and open new policies for both C and myself. Help him transfer the bills for direct payment from the bank account. Go to the bank tonight and split the savings account in half, then go to my new bank and deposit it. Fax in the mortgage papers this morning so the transfer application is in process. Fill out and fax in the internet papers to transfer the name on the account.

I'm sure there are a few hundred other small details I'm not remembering, but wth, it'll work out. I'm attempting to not stress about it. I'm not 100% successful.

Did I mention I wanted this over and done with?

Friday has landed...Finally!

I'm so glad this day is finally here. It feels like this week has dragged on and on and on. Training a slacker with a poor attitude, poor work ethic and someone that is in wayyyy over her head makes for a long week. It was a blessing in disguise that she quit.

I was on my way to catching up when my CAT log in crashed on me yesterday afternoon. And of course, I need it ASAP this morning. Crap.

Tomorrow is my work Christmas party. I'm excited, fun-money casino, good dinner and a good date! :)

My SUV is loaded up more than it was yesterday, the back is can't-see-out-the-windows full and the passenger seat is loaded now too. I'm stoked!

On my way...soon!

The moving to-do list is almost finished!

I'm more than half packed, the transfer approved, I've done some training, the new lease will be signed this weekend. I'm working on the mortgage transfer and the rest of the packing. Moving in one week. I'm headed to Calgary tomorrow after work for a Christmas party on Saturday night so my SUV is stuffed Tetris-style up the roof, every corner with boxes. Might as well take advantage of the trip. And the fact that the more I move now, the less I have to move next week. Ugh. Did I mention how much I despise moving. Especially since it's been brutally cold here lately.....uh as in minus-freaking-forty-five degrees with the wildchill!!!!!!!!! Either way I'm super happy, super excited and it's happening soon! Wooooooo Hoooooo!!! :)

I was training a replacement for me here, but it wasn't working out. We were going to let her go this morning, but she emailed my boss (on holidays no less) and said she wouldn't be in today. Ah well. A waste of a full week for me, but at least I can catch up now.

A quick update

The funeral went well - as well as a funeral can go. I miss him.

I got back to work on Tuesday morning, TRANSFER APPROVED!!! I signed the new job offer, training the week of November 8 - 12th. Start date December 6th. Holy crap!

I've been gathering boxes, trying to get rid of crap I don't need, organize.

I haven't told C yet. I'm a bit concerned of what he'll do while I'm away for a week. I'll tell him next week when I get home.

I'm really excited, but scared too. I'll find out about housing today, I hope. There is so much to do!

Stick a fork in me...I'm done

Wowza what a day!

Was freakin' tired this am. Got very little sleep. Got up at 5:45am, went to my course, it was informative, but the first session had me running for the coffee that I rarely drink, just to stay awake. Yikes.

Then I got a text from my mom, saying she was sorry to tell me this but my Grandfather went into congestive heart failure this morning and they weren't sure he was going to last the day. And a voicemail from my friend at head office, saying I'd better get my butt to the GM's office today and ask for that transfer. I called the GM, asked for a meeting after my courses, called my mom, papa was ok for now. Went back to the course.

Got through the course, went to my meeting - got approved for the transfer! Final details on Monday.

Headed for mom's house, another 2 hours away - in the wrong direction from my house and got the call on the way...papa passed away.

I'm wiped. Sad. Tired.

The news on the transfer is more in-depth, but today it just doesn't seem right to celebrate, so I'm going to go have a glass of wine with my mom and sister and details will follow probably tomorow.

To do list...

To do list:

Talk to R about moving in – check
Talk to my boss about transfer – check
Talk to the GM about transfer – tomorrow!
Talk to R’s landlords about me and Chiquita moving in –
Check commute distance to work from R’s house – check – it’s super close! Yay!
Start packing – check
Sweet talk shipper/receiver at work to save me boxes – check
Send in mortgage transfer application – started
Get approved for transfer –
Tell C –
Move –
Start new job –

Ok the unchecked list is longer, but the checked off list is getting longer by the day! I’m having a great day. I’m off in less than an hour and even though I’m going to get to R’s house after he’s gone to work for the night and he’ll get home at 2am and I have to get up at 5:45am for work, I’m still super excited to see him. Lol. I think I’ll be tired tomorrow. Stupid course.

I get to sit in on seminars like ‘product and issues update’, ‘warranty systems update’ and ‘audit update’. EXCITING! Haha, just kidding. Hopefully it won’t be info I’ll need if I get the transfer.

Changes

Huge life changes are taking place. Again.

I'm putting in for a transfer, which would (if I got it) move me to a new city, a new position (within same company), new home and new person to live with.

I'm excited, scared, nervous!

Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck. Details to come when things are for sure!
