// The Straight Away//

I am definitely the queen of procrastination, and this trip has been no exception. Eight days left until I make my big move to New York from Tucson, Arizona, but I still have a list of things that are pressing to be taken care of. And look at me, I am writing a blog instead of taking care of the list. Pure talent, my procrastination. I got unofficially laid off from my work since I made the mistake of letting them know early on that I was moving. They ended up replacing me about two months too early.  I have been scrambling not only to raise money for the move, but just to survive until then. Thankfully I have some great friends and family. I have been able to do commission paintings to support myself and save. But, due to the great p word, I have about Six whole paintings to do in seven days! Ah, not worries, I work great under pressure. 

Currently, my big stress is my suitcase. I have another talent in stressing out about the details. My suitcase might be a little too big, but I’m not sure how to tell. I measured it, and edge to edge, including the wheels, it measured out to exactly what their limit is. But, that does not include the handle or bulge  Ahhhh, see, this is what happens when I do something new. I don’t fly enough (practically never) to know how precise this has to be. Technically, they said that if the luggage is just one inch too large, then it’s another 150$ out of my pocket! That makes this a huge problem right? But, my boyfriend spent the evening making fun of me, which hints that I might be over reacting. Either way, I’ll have to deal with it. Maybe a call to delta would help…. I’ll keep you posted. I know you are all on the edge of your seats and everything.
