Final out paperwork with payroll & HR. Sat around the PACU with my coworkers for about 2 hours shootin' the shit, I didn't want to leave. 

Outprocessing the military system/hospital today & CF tonight. Bringing one of my friends to try it out before we leave. I think she'll like it.

Wanted to run this morning, but did a little bit of paperwork stuff & a friend came over for coffee before work. Again, gonna miss all of them! 

Today's K's "Tumor-versary". 4 years (since the first one). We don't celebrate the second+treatment, but we do celebrate this like a birthday, it's his special day. Got him an iPad. First year it was something not "Livestrong" related, but they don't make Livestrong cases for them anymore. Bummer. 

REGISTERED FOR RR50! So excited! Just wish I had been able to go back to sleep after registering at 1am. Now I'm too exhausted to go run.

Last day at "work." 

• Booked a flight to spend quality time with a dear friend & of course, do a race while I'm there. Let me be clear: doing the race together IS quality time. Hooray for a new state! And it's the week of my birthday, so 3 birds with one stone!

• Packing like a mad woman! Have to go into "work" tomorrow, so I won't get much done then. 

1. Forgot that we saw another Rattl'r on the hike yesterday. 2 snakes the last 2 hikes! Eeek. Both we walked right over. Jimmy & Ory (my poor puppy) walked over it, then it rattled, then Kurt and I backed away and walked around it. Then 2 Army guys came a couple minutes later and had poles and decided to poke at it. I of course, made comments about how intelligent they were (to their faces, I don't hold back)

2. Solid 4 hrs of hiking, more about 5.5 on the trail/out in the heat and I gained weight. Only ate a handful of cherries, 1 stuffed mushroom, 2 pieces of cheese (& *ahem* 2 beers)...then a big dinner. Sigh. Need to get this under control. 

3. MAJOR packing today. Major. We're booked with social plans this weekend, loading Mon & moving Tues. SO. Need to get this done M-Fri. 

4. I'm sad. Very, very sad. It just doesn't make sense to stay & we want to experience another part of the 'world' so, its best to leave. But, we love some of these people. Sheesh, when will I stop talking about it? Gah. I still look back wistfully and say "My time in VA/DC was the best, I loved living there, would do it again in a heartbeat". Don't think I'll ever say that about here, so, why stay? But, we will miss our friends. Hopefully, we'll make new ones. (side note: our friends here are also childless, except one who is expecting. I don't expect there will be many people our age childless in LA. It's just not the culture)

5. It's Rocky Raccoon registration week! SO. EXCITED.

Had a nice, ball-busting time at friends last night. So bummed to be leaving some of these people. 

Hiking today! Only today and maybe next weekend left :(
