The Sound Of Silence

The house has been packed up and empty.  Now I'm just waiting to move to our new home in California.

While a part of me is excited about a new adventure in my life, there is another part of me that worries.  I've settled here on the east coast and am now in a comfort zone.  The same can not be said about the west coast.  I will have to learn new routes, patterns and places to go.  An adventure in itself.  But the organized part of me, or maybe it's the paranoid part, wants to have plans and have everything mapped out.



Now I sit in an empty house and listen to the nothingness.  There's the occasional plaintive meow from my cats as they try to lure the each other into a game of chase, a round of barking from my dog as she hears something going on outside and of course my bird, who is a bit freaked out that when he makes noises they echo.

Little do they know that soon their little worlds will be rocked even more when we start our cross country trek next week.  They'll be divided between the two cars and it will be a long day with a stop in the evening at a hotel.  Which I need to make reservations for now.

Here's hoping we all get through this okay.
