Due to going to many shows as of late (which I don't regret in the least bit), I realized how quickly my money is being spent when I'm supposed to be saving in preparation for my move. I'm far from being physically ready, but mentally, I'm definitely ready to leave. I have a lot to do, which mostly includes eliminating things I don't need to bring, as well as stocking up on junk that will last me a few months as everything is more expensive in Chicago (including IPAs, damnit) which means I need to get used to drinking PBRs again. This 'junk' mostly includes toiletries, cleaning supplies, cat litter, cat food, et cetera. I'm not too worried about finding an affordable place to live, but I am concerned about my source of income. I'm so used to the convenience of having a car and a job--but this is essentially why I'm moving.. I'd be absolutely miserable if I stayed in one place just because of comfort. I need a change of pace.
Myself and everyone around me always complains about Ohio, but on some degree, I will miss living here, maybe because I've been here the past twenty three years of my life (ugh) and I'm used to the familiarity. However, leaving this doesn't bother me--what does is leaving my family. I'll only be six hours away, so I guess it's not so bad. I really need to start kicking myself in the ass since I basically only have 2 weeks to become organized. The second half of the month will be spent going to Pitchfork, seeing Nikki when she arrives, going to California for a wedding, then briefly back to Ohio to pick up my stuff. I have a feeling the month of July will gone before I know it. .
