Itching To "Fly South"

You know what is absolutely unfair, not to mention frustrating beyond belief? Knowing that you have a plan in mind of what you want to do & where you want to go in life, and having it held up by things that are completely out of your control.

Here I FINALLY decide that I want to return to my beautiful hometown of San Diego, and I can't even plan on when I'm going because of a ridiculous appraisal of our property that I have no idea when will be completed. The 4 appraisers in Chico that are certified to this particular type of appraisal have all turned down the job, which means they need to contract someone out of Sacramento or Redding. This of course means more time and more money (I'm pretty sure that the buyer is the one paying the cost of it, but either way, it's not happening as quick as it should be!)

If all goes well, and we get this place sold, I will be flying South (OK, driving in a moving truck) about 2 months after the sale closes. I figure that gives me plenty of time to give my job a month's notice, start packing, and then have an entire month to get things in order (pack, sell stuff off, etc.) without having to be at work everyday. That will be an experience let me tell you, as the last time that I had to pack was back in '96 when I moved up here. Also, if this goes according to plans, I may be headed down south for Thanksgiving with my mom (which by the way will be the 1st Turkey day I'll be spending with my mom since I was 12!) and possibly be going to Disneyland the following weekend, which will be very fun!

I can't wait to get down there permanently and start my Sports Business Management class! Hopefully this will be the step that will push me in the right direction towards a career with the SD Padres! Sure I will have to stay with my mom for a few months while we wait till the tenant on the other half of the duplex rides out his lease, but it's a good chance for me to save money and let him keep paying the mortgage! Then as soon as his lease is up (Or he leaves once he finds out his lease isn't being renewed) I get to move next door into the other half of the duplex till my mom sells it. Once sold, both of us are looking into buying homes in Carlsbad! Not a bad plan, just sucks that I just can't pick up, go & make things happen already!
