LIMBO NO MORE

I received a call a few days ago from my future boss asking if I was still interested in the job I interviewed for in SEATTLE. I said "YES. VERY MUCH." (trying-- and failing miserably-- to not sound overly desperate).
On November 30th I will start working at Seattle Children's Hospital on the 4th floor Surgical Unit. I cannot even begin to tell you how elated I am and I swear I was grinning for three straight days-- ear to ear.
Needless to say there is a LOT to be done. To be very honest I am ridiculously overwhelmed by the ginormity of my to-do list. The fact that this cross country move is going to cost so much is the real clincher. In order for my new work place to provide relocation assistance, one has to have two years of experience, and I have just over one year. This is very upsetting, but I'm trying to not let it ruin my sheer joy. However, moving will take a major chunk out of my 'life savings' and, I'm probably going to be getting a car once I get back to Oregon (to avoid sales tax). Those two things, combined with trying to furnish a new apartment (I currently only own bedroom stuff) in a city where it looks like rent will be about $200 more a month than I'm paying now, and don't forget that one's savings should be enough to sustain them for six months of living without any income (thank you Suze Orman).... my frugal nature is absolutely being threatened to the max. And it is making me nutty... and rather beyotchy.

But I'm moving to Seattle and I cannot WAIT.
