good bye party... at work

on friday, i had good bye party after work.. half the peeps that showed up, funnily enough, were ex employees of that agency. Something about that place creates a sense of connection with people who have worked there. I have so many good damn friends that i've meet thru my job in the two incarnations i was there. this time saying good-bye, I really felt i know what that means... the first time i did not hit me. this time round, it all feels a bit deeper.
i got a little too lit.. but i also walked away with tremendous amounts of warm fussies.
then the following night. M's birthday, i got to see more peeps to say good bye to... Ironically i will prob keeping running into everyone for another two months before i really do get out of here.
today i bought my one-way plane ticket to Rome Italy, 3-30-10 unfortunately it is United Air lines. but it is cheapest i could get.

just thinking about prep'ing for travel..sitting on couch

1-14-2010... sitting here on my couch, one week before i quite my job. i tried getting passport renewed today..but misplaced it temporarily.. i've been procrastinating..

i am practicing at work to throw things out cuz i am not good at that yet...

i am advantaging the opportunity of having insurance for half more monthses.. but beginning to find the numerous doctor visits and dental visits a bit tedious... and temporary fears that call backs generate, draining...

Seattle is reminding me of why winters are psychologically tough here... lots of rain... and it is the dark month.. my own lack of energy and motivation is mirrored by the people around me....


finding it hard to concentrate at work... last minute connecting and reconnecting with people.. i wonder how many of them i will meet again and again...if i return to Seattle, and work nonprofits here??..

...........but yes... now it's that time to buy the flight ticket, pick up credentials for the pilgrimage and find out about the long term visa for India... and I've been dawdling ...this time of departure came sooner than expected...I've gotten all this done before, the last long trip.. although that seems like vague dream now and hard to believe it really ever transpired.... i do believe a have a reciept or two from back then to proof it did?.. point is i have some sort of evidence that i can do all this again...
