On the Way to Arizona from Connecticut…

I’m actually on the plane now! I have a 50-minute layover in Cincinnati, then I’ll continue on from there.

I have so much to write about, it’s amazing. I’ll start from when I left off while I was still in Natchaug Hospital. There are so many little things to write about besides the important and very serious stuff.

Later...

I stopped writing momentarily as the stewardesses went by serving coffee, soda, and peanuts.

We should arrive in Cincinnati in about an hour.

There’s not much more to write about concerning Natchaug but I can never express enough how grateful I am to Dad and Tammy for all their help. I am free now. My project days are over. I will never ever live in one again and I should’ve made this move two years ago. It’s cool, though, knowing Andy’s been there for a little over a year and is all settled and knows what’s around.

Before going to the airport today, Dad brought me to Greenfield to see Sheila. There, I filled out the proper paperwork to move to Arizona.

I also saw Dave and Sharon who work in the habitat building. I went into the office to call upstairs. Kim wasn’t home (naturally) and Mark was no doubt asleep.

Then, at 11:30 or so, dad and I ate lunch at McDonald’s in Northampton.

After, we stopped at Cousin Boo’s and Max’s where I really didn’t want to go. I’m glad I did, though, as they were both super nice. They also gave me a good luck card with $100! Cool, huh? Any bit will help and Tammy’s gonna send me a refund from the Norwich housing authority. Also, money from my furniture sales.

At Boo’s I slept upstairs on her bed for an hour and a half. I’m whipped and I needed it. I only slept 4 hours last night.

Later…

I have no idea what time it is now. All I know is that we went back two hours. Of course, when I’m in Arizona I’ll have gone back 3 hours. When I arrive it’ll be 10:30 ET, but it’ll be 7:30 PT. Another two hours to go, I guess.

I feel better now that I ate dinner. Before I felt as if I’d gone through a meat grinder. I’m functioning on only a few hours of sleep.

The last flight we were 31,000 feet high. On this flight we’re definitely higher cuz I can’t see hardly anything. On the last flight, you could just barely make out the cars. They look like little toy cars, of course. Earlier it was very sunny, but now all I see are clouds all around me.

I hope the airport in Phoenix isn’t too far from Andy’s place. I also hope it doesn’t take forever to get Shadow and my suitcases. Poor Shadow. He no doubt is pissed and terrified. Especially with take-off and landing. It’s getting bumpy, so next time I write will be in PHX on steady ground!
