Movers, moving and leaving DC

Well, let's see.. .looking backward its such a blur now. The movers arriving to take all my worldly belongings and drive away was a tad weird. First we took stuff from the apartment. How in the word did I accumulate so much stuff there? Then on to the storage unit. Wow. I had forgotten so much of what I had. I learned of the difference in packing and wrapping things between a local and a long distance move. Long distance costs more every which way. But better safe than sorry. That's how they get you every time.

Off my things went in a big truck. I hope I see those things again. I can only hope they'd rather have my money than my stuff.

Leaving DC is bittersweet in that it really hasn't hit me yet. It is weird to have my car here in Miami. But still not for real yet.

I said goodbye to many but I also left without saying goodbye to a good many as well. Its just too hard. I'd rather say, I'll be back. Watch my city for me. Leah has offered to take over. Hmm. Not sure she's earned that full mantle yet, but she's there and I'm not. So I pass the torch for now.

I voted in DC before I left. If only I could have worked it out to vote here. I think they'll need me. McCain Palin signs far too prevalent for my tastes. Time will tell.
