Homeless Once Again - But It's a Good Thing!

Officially moved out of my apartment today. And so once again, for what I think amounts to the 9th time in the past five years, I find myself in between "homes." It has very much reinforced the notion that home is where I hang my hat, because I sure don't get to spend enough time in one place to get attached.
I'm pretty excited about heading away from Drum and trying something different. I'm hoping that I enjoy the Army side of things a bit better at my next duty assignment, because there's just some part of me that hasn't embraced the idea of moving on to civilian life even after all the personal disappointments and limited professional opportunities that I had at Ft. Drum. So I'm either meeting the definition of crazy (trying the same thing multiple times and expecting different results), or maybe I'll find someplace I'm a bit more fulfilled.
Moving out of this apartment was much easier, maybe it's because I know that my stuff will only be in storage for about a month and a half versus 14 months, and maybe it's because I'm learning that moving is a wonderful opportunity to shed some of the dead weight that tends to accumulate because I'm a pack rat by nature. Going through my closet to decide what is getting packed and what is coming with me for the interim time period is a a very good reality check. Despite having done the same thing last move, I still found that I had clothes in there that I know I haven't worn in years. Ok, granted over a year of that was time in Iraq when I couldn't wear them, but any winter clothes that didn't make it on my body during the long Ft. Drum winter are clearly not going to be put back into rotation anytime soon. It then becomes a very good excuse to do some shopping! I don't want to end up like one of the ladies who appears on what not to wear, who keep reaching for the old familiar stuff that has been lingering in their wardrobes for decades.
This move is strange because the last two have been for deployments, and I knew that Ft. Drum was going to be there for me at the end of it. This time its someplace new, and a whole new area to learn. I'm excited by the possibilities.
