Packed and Ready

I've gotten all my stuff in my backpack. Now I just sit by teh door and wait for 2pm Saturday to roll around. I don't have a job. It hit me today. A little scary. Though its going to be okay its just amazing to leave a perfectly good job and be off again to find something new.
I got my final shopping done and the last load of laundry is in the washer so I am literally passing the time until I go.
I had a great last day of work. I ignored my coworker all day until she was gone and then enjoyed my goodbyes as people were leaving. One of the guys there said a prayer for me which I really appreciated. It was thoughtful of him. I did some last minute shopping too and tried to wrap up what unfinished business I had with my customers. I certainly hate to turn them over to my coworker but I do hope the new person will be good to the people I've met here in Portland. I really liked this store. The shoppers are a totally different type than in Boise. Even taking their passports photos struck me as funny. People in Portland must have all learned at a young age to turn there heads in a pose for a photo. I had the darndest time getting them to straighten their heads to look right at me. For some it seemed almost unnatural. I always got a laugh out of that.
So, now I shift gears and think hostel again. I've packed some food this time and done my clothes a little differently to see if I can make life simpler. I don't have to lug my bag all over the place which will really help so its pretty full. I have alot of travel type things in there and when I get home I can blitz my wardrobe and pack only packable things. I'm not very good at that still which annoys me. But I'm sure with this new adventure I'll be a real pro before I know it.
I found a good book at goodwill to read on the way to San Francisco and that will be good. My computer battery won't last 18 hours and neither will my Ipod (will it?) so I've got other entertainment. I snagged some travel brochures from the travel agency so I could study up a little bit.

Its going to be great. On the move again.
