Why oh why did I pick a job that revolves around constantly moving?? This will be my 5th move in a year and each one has caused me untold stress. For those who don't understand the travel nurse concept, the apartments that my company provides are furnished so I don't travel with furniture. It's mainly my clothes, linens, kitchen wares (which I COULD rent but I choose not to), and along the way I've chosen to bring more personal things so that my apartments felt more homey. When I started this odyssey I was driving my cute little Escort stuffed to the brim, and now I've got the Matrix and I pull a little 4x8 Uhaul behind it. Honestly, I don't have *that* much to pack, but the whole process just makes my heart start to pound, my head hurt and me to feel like drowning in a bottle or sleeping ... neither of which are very productive.
The upside to this move is the fact that I plan on staying put after I get to Little Rock, and the only move in the forseeable future will be when BJ and I buy a home. It'll be nice to stay in one place for a while, I was just counting and in the last 10 years I have moved FOURTEEN times. I guess I took the phrase "a rolling stone gathers no moss" very seriously. You'd think that after all these moves it'd be a breeze, but instead I just get more anxiety ridden each time. If only I had some Xanax .... and JCR is out of town :)

I can't even imagine moving so much. Shoot, I should have left you some Xanax! I have all mine with me in Reno for the plane...and also just to have it. :)
