I guess I need to buy some sweaters

Okay, it is mature adult decision making time! Which is funny because most people might find this, well, rather childish. But I'm stubborn, so I refuse to accept it as anything but a good, healthy, mature decision on my part.

I... am going to Alaska. I am taking a leave of absence at my job. I am moving my shit out of my apartment. I am giving my cat to my parents too, which is the only real temporary portion of the process. (I think.) Then I'm hopping on the next plane to Homer. Mike was very persuasive on the phone last night.

Until, of course, he mentioned the cold, and the darkness, and the fact that I have to learn how to drive his truck Chief which can barely make it up hills and stalls out from time to time, which I have to learn while ALSO learning how to drive through snow and ice. Oh Jesus what am I doing?

Love can make you do crazy shit.
