Thankfully I'm just over thinking small stuff, just wait till I get in the road tho. I'll probably overthink if I'm brushing my teeth like a trucker.

This week is feeling surreal! I'm rushing to get things done because time seems to be speeding, but then at other times it is going slow. I talked to me recruiter, made sure the pictures I sent of my W-2s worked and also to get the Greyhound information. I leave out around 9:30 am Sunday and get to Springfield, Mo around 10 pm. It is about double how long it would take to drive, but I can't afford to pay upfront for a rental car and will just enjoy the ride.

I'm currently starting at the kitchen table covered in stuff that I need to make sure and fits in a duffle and backpack. I'm pondering if I should only take a couple shorts and couple jeans or what. Do I need 7 shirts? I think I do, but heck if I know. There is also the few things I'll have to buy when I get there such as the sleeping bag. You just never realize how use to "stuff" you are till you try to fit it in a bag. I mean I've lived in a tent and a car before, but this is extreme! I love it though, this is a chance to make things better and enjoy life more. I can't wait for it and I know once I have my own truck it will be fun figuring out the space.

I'm so nervous and excited! Saturday my family is doing a get together and then my Mom made me promise she could take me to the bus stop Sunday. Which works due to the nearest actual bus stop being 40 min away.

After I get things packed I plan on doing one more last deep clean to make sure I didn't miss anything. Then I am turning off the water, shutting down all electrical items, and locking things up good before I leave out. Extreme? Maybe, but I want to try and cut all expenses while I'm gone. Maybe in a few months before winter I'll let the rental agreement go and just put my important stuff in my parents basement. We will see though!

Who knows Bran, by the time I'm ready to do this, you may be a trainer. Prime is my company of choice right now as I really like their training plan. Good luck and I'm looking forward to reading your diary.
