A chapter ends......

[hester_prynne]

I'm going to move away from Astoria soon!!!!! That's what I mean by a chapter ends. A friend of mine was talking about that, and it really helps me cope with this change, thinking of it as an end to a chapter. Because that is just what it feels like, living in Astoria now that Stelly is gone east, it's like i'm living on in an ended chapter. I truly feel that if I don't move, I might go batty, in a bad way.
This will be a much more intense transition than just moving into a new space. I'm fairly scared, but it's a good scared. I'm gonna move north back up to where my family is, where I grew up, about 45 minutes north of Seattle. In fact I am here right now in Skagit County, wishing I didn't have to go back to Astoria tommorrow. I had a really good interview here today for a position at a care center. Tommorrow i'm headed back to Astoria to start packing. I'm thinking i'm going to move even if I don't get the job I applied for today. It's easier, I think, to apply for jobs when there is not a long distance to deal with. But it could be risky, as decent paying jobs are not in abundance anywhere. I'm game to take the risk.
Gulp!
Think i'm taking a stupid risk?
Input welcome.

"I truly feel that if I don't move, I might go batty, in a bad way", so you have to move Hester!!!!
And it doesn´t sound like a bad place! (skip the crime map):

A chapter begins...

the first lines, what will they hold...

sunshine promises behind the curtain

and neath the sheets

we can't be certain

but when she opens her eyes, peers out on a new day

she won't be in Kansas anymore Toto

the yellow brick road awaits

and Ms. Prynne has the right shoes for it!

To happy horizons up ahead Hester, and don't forget to pack all of us in your suitcase.

Mousey cries "Shotgun" and raises for the front seat!
