Four Weeks to Check In and Tying Up Loose Ends

Well today, December 10th, marks the 4 weeks to go mark on my DCP countdown. Keep in mind that this started at 108 days, and I'm now at 28! I'm starting to slowly get things ready to go and I have started packing up some of my clothes and shoes in order to be able to focus on my family and friends my last couple of weeks at home.

It's getting really real now, as today is also the two week mark from my last day at Payless Shoes, where I have been for close to two years. Don't get me wrong, I'm more than ready to be out of that awful corporation (I will miss my boss and some of the wonderful people I've worked with), but I'm ready to go. I won't be mourning this separation, but my last day at my other job is gonna be tough.

I started working for the Everett Silvertips in 2008, and I've spent four and a half happy seasons as a Sales Associate in their team store. If I wasn't leaving this year, I would have hit my five year mark which is half the time the team has actually been around. This job was my first serious job, and boy will I miss it. I've made some wonderful friends in the Store, and I honestly don't think anywhere will ever come close to how much I enjoy the people at that job.

I'm 100% sure I'm going to cry on Sunday while I'm working, as I'm going to be mourning leaving so many people that I love behind. Not that I would change the fact that I'm leaving for the world, but I'm going to miss a lot. This move means no more Silvertips Hockey, no more weekend games with some of my best friends, and no more boss to listen to me and give me advice and reassurance when I need it. It's going to be tough, but they keep reminding me that it will be worth it, and that's what I'm trying to keep in mind!

Other than that, my final for my last class I will EVER take at EVCC is complete, and I'm just awaiting my grade to be posted. I think I did okay, and now I'm going to spend my last two weeks at Payless not slacking as bad as I want to, and enjoy my last month at home. Come December 24th, I will be free from my slavery at Payless, and free to spend time at home getting ready to go!

Next up should be about my adventures in packing my entire life into 5 suitcases and a backpack and saying goodbye to friends and family.

Watch out DCP! Here I come!
