Oregon Trails Entry #1

So I'm starting this new string of entries reserved specifically for everything Portland. The title is an homage to being in the 3rd grade and playing Oregon Trail on the computer...just kidding. It's not to be taken seriously whatsoever.

I forgot how much I haaaaate searching for jobs. After being comfortable in a job for so long, you forget what it's like not to have one and to need one ASAP.

Well, it could be worse, we are moving to Portland in 11 days and at least I'm getting a head start on the job hunt.

It doesn't feel like we're moving in 11 days. It feels like it's still months away, but it will creep up so fast. I'm excited, nervous, scared, happy, ecstatic, all of the above. I've been talking to a new friend about our inability to stay in one place for too long. I was starting to think it was a bad thing because everyone always told me that, but now I'm realizing that it's okay. So neener neener.

The idea of moving to Portland was always in the back of my head, and I think fate/Krista finally gave me the push I needed. So in a way this feels so spur of the moment and kind of "what the hell am I doing?" but it also feels right, like it's what I've been planning to do all along.

I have so much to do and what a perfect time to have lost my day planner. I know I left it in Las Vegas, but the hotel refuses to recover it for me. So I resorted to an old, half used notebook from high school that's falling apart.

Anyways, Oregon Trails will continue through now and the move and when we are safe and sound in Portland.

Over and out.

By the way, here's where I'm moving. :)
