“…life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long.”

Today was the last day of spring session at the center.  Alecia cried, Faye cried, I cried, a lot of the moms cried…::sigh::  And I get to do this at the end of every school year when I become a teacher!  But we took lots of pictures, gave lots of hugs, and made sure all the kids that were leaving to go to kindergarten knew how much we’d miss them. 

God, I’ll miss them…

I picked up my keys and my parking permit for the new place today and went to look around and get a feel for it.  I like it – it overlooks Cottage (much nicer than my current view of Main!), has a lot of light (natural AND lamps), and there’s a lot of bathroom storage space.  If you’ve ever been to any place I’ve ever lived, you know how many toiletries and bathroom stuff I have – this storage space is a godsend.  And the kitchen is wonderful – a full sized stove and fridge, both spotless.  Everything was so clean, especially for DLK.  It was such a nice feeling to walk in and not feel like I did after living at my place on Langdon for a few weeks. 

Tomorrow I’m going to get as much stuff moved over there as I can between 10 AM and 1 PM, then cleaning up and picking up some cat food before going to the shelter.  This is going to be hard for me, as much as I’m looking forward to it.  I know I’m going to want to adopt every single cat that I see.  I’ll have to figure out some way to detach myself emotionally, at least a little.  I need to meet with Janna, get everything finalized for adoption, and then make my choices.  I can’t save them all – no matter how much they might break my heart. 

And then Max is coming and I can’t wait – he bought me Kenny Chesney tickets for my birthday, how awesome is that?  That beats the cupcake for my 17th (although I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for that  )  – this guy…oh, ladies, he’s a keeper. 

Back to “Suicide Kings”…it’s a great freakin’ movie.
