How does one fit 60 years of ones life into a single suitcase? I think that might be my eventual future. As stated before, I am unemployed and the prospects for employment in this area are pretty remote. Not that I even want to stay in this state.
But of utmost importance is money. How much you have to get you where you are going. Will I have enough to fix up my car and drive back East? Will I have to sell that and all my belongings and pack that ONE suitcase? I don't know. Scary place to be. If I was 20 it would be adventurous but at 60 it is quite alarming.
I have books, CD's clothing, shoes, objects that I've picked up over the course of my lifetime thus far. How do I decide what stays and what goes. How can I choose between them all. Why do I have to choose at all. I won't lament about the unfairness of it all because we all know that LIFE ISN'T ALWAYS FAIR!!!!! Yada, yada, yada.
As Scarlett O'Hara said, I'll think about this tomorrow (or actually Monday). I've decided Monday is when I can officially freak out (though I think I am already). For today I plan to watch the Travel Channel's "Wild China" from 1 pm to 4:30 pm. I'm then watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkiban for the billionth time, and will conclude the evening with some BBC.
I'll let you know how this all turns out.
