The clock is counting

When I was sitting at about 30 days out, I felt like I still had all the time in the world to get all my ducks in a row. Now I am sitting about two weeks out, and I feel like I am no further prepared for the changes to come than I was two weeks ago. I have all of tomorrow to identify what I will need to take with me and what I can let the movers hold onto for several weeks. I still have not found a place to live yet and friday will be my last day in my current apartment. I'll need to forward my mail somewhere. Even with two weeks left, wtih all the things I need to do, it just seems like its already creeped up on me and I've failed to prepare for the transistion.


I still havne't figured out how I am going to emoitionally get over all my friends here. When I left Oklahoma City and Korea, it was easy for me to leave since all my close friends had already moved on to their next duty location. Even in Korea, the mere fact that I was prepared to leave in a year made it bearable to only create friendships that could easily be broken. I guess I never saw myself leaving, for a while I thought that I was going to stay here in Panama City as a civilian and go to school while working here for a few more years. I've been at my apartment getting ready for the movers to do their thing, but it hasn't been easy to sit here all by myself.
Things will work out, they always do.
