I'm packing frozen treats and a cooler full of cold water bottles, just to be safe. Here in a minute I'm going to go make some banana breads to share with the gang as well. We have a few things we're going to see if people want, but mostly we're just going to hang out for a bit and say goodbye.
I double-checked the date for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yourprecious's wedding and it is barely two months away, so I'll be back soonish. I think I can still book the car and such for the bachelorette party, long distance. I'm a little worried that I'll fall down on the hand-holdy bits, just because of how crap my life is at the mo. I've sorted all the things with medical records and medications, and we're pretty sure we have the documents we need to register the kiddos in school. The only thing we haven't sorted is what the heck one does when one is moving 700 miles away from one's son's orthodontist whilst he's in braces. They haven't called us back. O_O Could be awkward.He'd miss... probably more than a day of school for each visit, IF we were able to drive 700 miles twice in 24 hours. :P That is just not happening.
Spent a good bit of Tuesday with a friend who has a son William's age. We were going to be doing the public school homeschooling thing together and all that. It was tough. This lady is so sweet, and she has this idea of me being so socially adept and preternaturally kind, that I almost don't know what to think of her. I like her a lot, it's just that her idea of me seems a little different from any idea I've ever had of myself. I guess that is one of the cool things about friendships -- sometimes friends see goodness in you in areas you didn't expect anyone would.
So, I hate leaving, but I'm also looking forward to being with people I've missed a lot. And getting a job/having money again. Though I'm worried about getting a job too quickly and not being able to get time off when it's time to come back for the wedding. I already have a couple of solid leads, so it's possible.

I guess the point is that it's going well and I'm still positive and alive and all. Just may not be around for several days.

Granted, I haven't practiced in over four years, which is still sort of strange to think about. I mean, I couldn't go a year without moving at least once, once I turned 18. :D
As for job/time off, I was always told that the best thing would be to tell prospective hires during the interview, "Look, I hate to spring this on you, but I have such-n-such scheduled, have for months, and I can't bail now. It requires such-n-such time off. If I survive the hiring process, I'll still need those days." They'd rather hear it up front (honesty! What a concept!) than a week before you're going to need the time - which I don't think you'd do. :)
