Countdown is down to hours!!!
Got check on Thursday. I knew I was working some hours my last week due to everyone quitting. But my last check was $260.52! With what I was able to keep from my other check, I will have a even $300 to travel and live on when I get there!
Add to the $100 thanks to Wishadoo as a back up when it starts clearing for transfer on Sept. 30th. I have a good little nest egg!
I went to the Bus station just a little while ago and found that my bags come in with way more room to spare within the 50 and 25 pound limit. the check in bag comes in at 27 pounds (does not feel or look it), carry on comes in at 18 pounds (paperwork and the laptop combined). I have carried my fanny pack with nothing being said on 2 different trips so I don't see it being a problem this time.
Sill nervous about the OKC stop. Hope I can find my transfer. The Phoenix transfer will be a cake walk.
Once I clear the OKC hurdle, it will be a smooth and fun trip!
Once I am there, I may not be on much due to all that I need to do and getting to where I can get Wi-Fi. But I will try and keep people updated.
Something did hit me today. I am out to find that age old "American Dream". To see if the old "American Promise" is still out there. The one that says if you want it and fight for it, anything is possible. I have heard so many say it is dead. Well I guess I am about to find out. It excites and scares me.

But I may have my pack with me at times and they don't allow that. And I don't want the guys on the street to see me with it.
See, most shelters only allow 7 day stays so I may have to stay on the street from time to time. Not the first time mind you, but that is why I know I may have some problems at first. Getting a job is going to be rough, that is why I need to find out how bad my ex SO throwing me out has made of me getting HUD/Section 8 has caused. I know I may have problems with Food Stamps due to a address mix up (long story...) and "advice" on how to deal with it. This out side person that messed up my relationship and life really did a number.
So I may be on the street from time to time and will not be able to get on due to safety.
I am amazing. I made it through." May your dreams come true. 
its in your heart!
I don't know the particulars but wish you luck
