One month to go. In one month a group of people is going to show up here, put our lives inside a metal box, and move it 700 miles. What a concept. I am excited, scared, and apathetic all at the same time. Apathetic because on one hand, it's just another move. I have lived so many places in my life that it's kind of banal at this point that I am moving. But this is the first time out of state which does bring some excitement to the process. I am still feeling overwhelmed by how much there is left to pack, but not too bad at this point. We've managed to get the majority of things done that I feel it is manageable in the time left. Ask me how I am feeling in three weeks. Then the stress will probably be back.

Did laundry and cleaned house as much as possible with all the boxes. That's the part I am definitely looking forward to when we move. Since we signed a 24 month lease, we will have a decent amount of time with no boxes. It feels like out of the 12 months we have lived here, at least 3 or 4 were spent with boxes of some type. This place has never felt permanent in that respect. I am hoping that changes.

Played some video games, made steaks for dinner, and watched the series finale of Humans. Shows like that really exemplify why I like BBC shows over US shows. So well written and thought out. With a British show you never know at the end if everyone will die or if nothing will get resolved. It could go either way. Humans did not disappoint in that regard.

Went to bed around 10:30. Slept fitfully for some reason. Probably just the heat which still has yet to break. It has been in the high 90s/low 100s for so long now you'd think we were in AZ. Tiresome.

That's about it. I have three days of classes this week including a full 12 students on Wed/Thurs. It's a beginner class too which will be a handful but it's worth over $15k to the company. August is already shaping up to be a solid month towards another good bonus in October. If that happens, I will put a large chunk towards some bills.

Oh, I did one other thing yesterday. I drove to the Jeep dealer while they were still closed to look at Wranglers. B has her heart set on a Jeep and while I am okay with it, there are way too many models and I wanted to see what the differences were. Out of the four I saw on the lot, 2 were somewhat acceptable feature wise and only one had everything I would accept. The problem? $50,000. I am not exaggerating. It was $50k for a Jeep. That's just insane. It's bad enough cars cost what they do but that much for a Jeep? Um, no. I just don't get why they are that high. Crazy.

I might go back and drive it just to see why the hell it's so expensive, but not today. Today is documentation and bathroom packing. Whee.
