well..not a "I started this" kind of post...have not commented a lot lately either... Still kindof browse the site, but i've been so busy prepping for my move, i've just had no energy for it..

I guess this is an "update" for anyone that wanted me to keep up with some updates

my home here in WA state is "almost" sold...Its been getting repairs asked for during the home inspection..a bit more $ than i wanted to spend but i guess it could have been far worse.. all in all, I will have spent about $2k for repairs..my new home i'm buying in AZ probably needed $5k at least

the AZ house is about to get re-inspected this friday, hopefully its all good because thats the last piece needed to finalize my mortgage and finish closing the deal!

probably 1 week to go on the one here...final repairs should be getting done (maybe while im at work in fact) - somehow i have managed to get a new house purchased and 1 sold in almost the exact same time frame.. while concurrently packing up my house..

the PODs unit i rented is due to be picked up the 9th and head to AZ as well..good thing i am nearly done packing it..gotta be complete by thursday night.. thats made for some late nights lately, getting that taken care of.. Its also re-opened up the grief a few times as I ran across things that triggered tears multiple times while packing again.. fortunately, these episodes have been brief, albeit very painful when they hit...seems to be a new "style" of grief...random, short, but very intense.. lucky me..

As it stands now, I gave my notice at work and my last day will be 10/15 - will be leaving from work on the 1st leg of my drive down to AZ - probably arriving at twin falls ID, late that evening.. 2nd leg the next day...

Amazingly I also have managed to get a phone interview lined up for this thursday, so its possible i might even be heading down to a job interview follow-up...

Simply massive amounts of change going on right now...i think i'm going to collapse once this is all over just from sheer exhaustion...
