the dreams were sweet, but I can't remember them.
Funny, how that works.

After being up for just a short bit, despite my alarm clock's relentlessness in pursuing my awake an hour ago status (yeah, RIGHT!) I began coughing.

and coughing.
and coughing.
and, that's right...coughing.

seems the dust is getting to me. I think I will have to keep up on that at the new place. It's rough doing so in my room now. I have too much shtuff, I think, and I burn a lot of incense. But I hate dusting! It's tedious and takes so much time!

*sigh*

This so isn't important right now.
LOL

What IS important is my lungs are finally calming down (thank goodness for Claritin!), coffee is ready, and I am still in-process and moving and not cracking yet.

I was telling my mom last night, and I think I said something to [livejournal.com profile] bindrune about it too (don't quote me...bad short-term memory), but I don't know if I will crack for a week or two. Hell, I may not crack at all. It seems like my body wants to cry, but it's not because I am as scared-feeling as I have been about other big changes. The Inhabitants of Jawndomay spoke about this last night, and it has something to do with the fact that, although this change is HUGE and going to affect all of our lives quite drastically, it is a good change, and happening in a positive context, a nice diversion from the typical, "Holy shit, my life's in utter chaos and I need to change things RIGHT FUCKING NOW if I am going to save face even remotely!" or.something. You get the point, right?

I am definitely more about butterflies than ever right now though. Butterflies and phoenixes. Rebirth, change, transformation. My spirit is considerably lighter than it's been in quite some time, and I get *butterflies* when I think about the next few weeks. I am finally getting a little excited, which is, again, a nice change from the norm.

With that, I think I will steal a quote from [livejournal.com profile] ceilede, just because I liked it ~8):

"Within the armor is the butterfly and within the butterfly is the signal from another star." ~ Phillip K. Dick

yeah, that rocks in all sortsa ways I simply don't have the time to go on about now.

*sigh*

Admittedly, there are certain parts of this journey which are sad, but it helps to think about the fact that

A. I will be back up in Cleveland at least two times in October for [livejournal.com profile] batty_'s wedding and for shows with Missile Command (possibly more times...still need to figure out my schedule before saying, "Hell yeah!").

And B. It's only ten weeks. An elongated version of my trip to Rome last summer, only twice as long + a few days.

Of course, I won't be back right at the end of the ten weeks. I am heading to Michigan for Dead-bird day, but will be back in early December for sure.

OK, so I am off now to finish packing. I don't know that I will be online much the next 24-48 hours, due to packing and moving and shtuff, so if I don't reply to something quickly, I hope you all understand. I will be on Friday though, once I am settled into Brough, (pronounced Broh like "snow"~;) so look for an update and some responses to things then.

Time to drink some coffee, wake up a bit, and then I'm off to meet with [livejournal.com profile] zzahn for lunch.

Hey now!

Maybe you're looking at this the wrong way. They don't say that it's the beginning of a new life for no reason. I absolutely loved my time at OU. You'll meet new people and have new experinces (trust me, Athens is full of strange-but-good experiences) and may find that *gasp* you cry when you have to come back to Cleveland for winter intercession. Get excited!!

This was actually a very positive post. I was, and still am, looking forward to this adventure I'm on. It's so pretty down here, and people seem nice enough. I am just very shy initially IRL, and not so good with changes in general. I will adjust though, and have already met a few really nice people, so no worries...I am looking at the cup as half-full, and filling.~;)

Thanks so much for all your thoughts and ideas, Haizle. I truly am grateful for them!
