But in the meantime,
in the world of straightening
up
loose ends,

I bought plane fare for
September
to fly to Austin, Texas.

I even snagged three
out of four nights
at the local hostel there,
thus significantly reducing my
costs of visiting.

I splurged
and decided to visit
an extra day
so I can hit some museums
or spots or some such.

Enjoy the city.

Catch up on my sleep
to begin with,
because when I leave will barely
be worth an attempt to lay down.

I wonder what my life will be like
come September.

My life already
has changed quite a bit
since the beginning of the year.

Made some decisions
and have stuck with them
and am now just about to put
the rest of my evil plans
in motion....

What will my life look like
next week?
Next month?
Next season?
Next year?

That feeling of nostalgia
for a place I am still at
because I know soon
I will not be
has set in.

Each day I listen
and see and smell
knowing this will no longer
be part of my life
just next week.

That like the nearly dozen rock festivals I have attended before,
this will be different,
because there will be no job to come
back to.

And I feel
hesitant
scared
excited
elated
frightened to death
because I just paid all
my bills
for right now
and am not quite sure
where the money will be
next time.

Next time.
This time.
Last time.

All so different.
