Adios Missouri

Adios to Missouri - I toast this last Corona (from fourth of July!) to you.

As much as we promised ourselves we wouldn't let things come down to the wire this time - things came down to the wire this time. [smile] Though, admittedly mishaps like the front tire debarkle are somewhat to blame rather than us.

Katie was in Sedallia today dealing with the aforementioned tire problem, and doing a print job. I opted to stay home and work on packing - and it's a damn good thing I did, since Staples took from 11am to 5pm to do the printing job! If we'd both been out all day, we would have really been screwed.

The lack of a car to pack was really starting to wear down my senses by 6pm, but on getting the job started after dinner, I was feeling better about life. And once that happened, tonight actually felt less down to the wire than last time.

Impressively I got more into the ccar than I expected, which is pretty kick ass. I'm pretty impressed with my packing skills. The clothes bag is additionally very full, poor little Pepe is pretty weighed down.

So tomorrow we head out on the second and final trip to Arizona - thankfully we're splitting the journey into 3 days to get into Phoenix with enough time during the day to get everything unloaded and the other stuff in storage moved to the apartment. Which each day of driving is a bit shorter than last time, and we can leave later tomorrow than we did last time.

I've been here for four months, it's the second last day before I leave, and it's only just now that I've noticed the "I'm somewhere in Missouri feeling all alone" in Jesus Shake My Shoulder. You'd think that would have been brought to my attention earlier! It's uncanny how often I don't think about what I'm singing. [wink]

A Flat Tire On The Road To A Better Place

Yesterday afternoon we set out to start packing the car, only to find the front right tire flat! How freakin' inconvenient. With so much to do before leaving tomorrow this is really something that we could have done without.

With a trip to Walmart we got some repair stuff to get us into town today to get a new one. Apparently they couldn't find anything wrong with it, and it'd probably be fine, but with such a long drive and Pepe about to be hugely loaded down again, we got a new one.

The timing on this is really quite annoying!
