Moving is such a HUGE b*tch!!!!!
That past couple of weeks have been the most stressful weeks that I have ever experienced. Kaiser decided that they didn't want to pay for my dad to remain here in Louisiana so they sent a private jet to pick him up at the hospital here and transport him back to the hospital in CA. I knew this would happen but I wasn't prepared for it to happen so quickly. So now he's back in CA (so are my mother and grandmother) and he is slowly getting better. They say that his case is very unique and they have been doing tests like crazy to find out what the growth is. His file has been sent to a panel of doctor's and surgeons for review and we are hoping that at least one of them will come up with a way to solve my dad's problem.
When my dad got sick, I knew that my moving plans would change because we would no longer be able to drive the RV back and therefore I would have no way to get my stuff back. My parents assured me that everything would work out but I felt like I was doomed. I ended up calling a friend in CA and asking him if he would be willing to fly to Louisiana and help me drive back. He agreed so I immediately went online and purchased his ticket. Over the next couple days he started coming up with excuses and eventually he backed out completely. I think he realized that this wasn't going to be a vacation. It was going to be a long and boring 32 hour drive across the country! I guess it didn't sound so appealing after he had time to think about it.
So naturally I started to panick because there was no way that I could make the drive by myself and I couldn't find anyone who could help me (everyone either works or is in school). Anyhow, I started doing some research online and I found that I could ship my car and my belongings for the same price it would have cost me to drive. The car transport picked my car up on Friday and I packed my POD today and it's going out tonight. Both are scheduled to arrive at my parents house on Friday the 22nd. I am also scheduled to fly to CA on Friday so I am hoping to arrive before my stuff does. I am SUPER tired from packing, loading the UHAUL, unloading the UHAUL and loading the POD, then returning the UHAUL. Now I just have to wait until Friday to fly back home. I can't wait!
I am so tired right now but I can't sleep. Maybe after I eat a hot meal and take a steaming hot show, i'll get sleepy.

Wow, so sorry about all the craziness. Sounds like it's working out, though. Try to be easy and have a safe trip. Best wishes for your dad's recovery.
Wow, who knew that hiring a company to transport your vehicle and items would be cheaper than doing it yourself?! Glad it worked out. Just think how amazing it will be to finally come back home to Cali for good!
Thanks! I feel like I can finally breath now. I will be completely releived once I arrive back in CA and get settled in. I am counting down the days!!
