Oregon ho!

*cue cheesy Wagon Trail theme music* Though  most of you are prob too young to have ever played. :P

Sunday morning I begin my 2,000 mile drive to Portland. Wheee! Spicer-kitty will be stoned thanks to the drugs the vet provided, and I'll be singing along with my ancient anime themes CDs while I try to keep from gaping at the scenery and killing us both! Let us hope things go well.

To avoid the traffic nightmare of Denver,  I'm heading west to Roswell, north and west through Albuquerque, skirt along the AZ border, cut across the SW corner of Colorado, north through Utah, wade through Salt Lake City, then across Idaho and west along 84 to land in Portland. I'm not sure if it will take me 3 or 4 days to finally step inside my apartment. More than likely I'll reach Portland on the 3rd day, but too late to move in. (The complex said they can't do a new move-in after 4 PM.) So I might end up in a hotel nearby to await the next day. Anyway, I'll definitely be inside my apartment and back to work on the 10th. I miss work very much, and it will only feel worse after three days of driving. T.T I'm taking Usagi to do some pre-lettering in the hotels. It's an addiction!

I had a decent visit with my IRL friend Yuumei yesterday, was genuinely surprised at the surprise party L-chan threw for me, and had a wonderful long chat with my other IRL friend Rei at the local ihop. I will miss them all terribly. Yay for the net and phones!! Thanks to the masterful skills of my mom and 'nee-chan, we were able to cram everything inside Rei (my car) with room to spare. Heh!

I doubt any of the hotels I'll be staying at will have internet, so I likely won't be back here at LJ or with email until the 11th, when the fios guys are supposed to hook me up. Five days without my internet...'twill be agony!!

Everyone, be well while I'm gone, and send me good vibes! Yahoo has me driving the entire length of Route 666. Hahhahahaha!!!

Gambarimashoooo!!!! XD
