Standby
Alright dear friends, this will be my last post from my current location in hot, humid southern Maryland. Thursday is my last day in my current office. Friday will be my last day in my current house. Saturday I’ll pack everything I own into a UHaul and cart it to my new location in Alexandria (for those unfamiliar of the area, this is right outside of Washington DC, in lovely northern Virginia).
I am incredibly nervous. I am incredibly scared. I am a teeny, tiny bit excited.
I am saying goodbye to so many people and so many things. To the house I love and the friends I cherish. I am closing the chapter on my marriage, and on this portion of my life. It is an enormous change and I am still struggling with it all.
I hope this move provides the fresh start I need. I hope this will allow me to move beyond all this pain and regret and heartache. I hope this change of job and city and scenery is as exciting and fulfilling as I want it to be.
That being said, please standby for my next post. My internet is being turned off on Friday and I’m not sure how quickly it will be turned on at my new place. I am dealing with Verizon, and we all know what idiots they are.
So, take a deep breath everyone. And by everyone I mean ME. Send some good thoughts my way, I need them for this.
Not “goodbye” dear heart — just “see ya soon!”
You’ll never escape your SoMD friends by moving to “the city.” We’re harder folk than that! We’ll brave the one-way streets, beggars and gangs. We’ll tough out the having to walk from door to door (instead of driving), and the use of mass transportation. We’ll print out directions from Google Maps, turn on and charge up our Garmins, and still get lost. But we’ll find you. Because true friends don’t understand the concept of miles, and we know the value of a postage stamp.
And when we do find you, you’ll have to share with us the novelty of living somewhere where you can have food delivered. Because you *know* we’ll all be like, “Nuh uh!” and “It’s like magic!”
HAHAHA *HUG* Never forget: WE LOVE YOU!
Good luck my friend! You will be missed dearly but just a phone call away. Can’t wait to come see the new place with the Cherry Blossom room!
Yay! Best of luck!
good luck!!! Im sure it will be awesome!!
Good luck! I look forward to hearing how you like your new place.
Good luck with the move. I’ll be in and around the Alexandria area all weekend if there’s any disasters.
woof.
Good Luck with the move! Can’t wait to here how it goes! And post pictures of the new place!
Yes! This is just the beginning! Soon you’ll look back on the past month and think about how it’s all a thing of the past.
Get moved and all settled so I can come and visit and see my new second home. My dear, sweet, sister I love you so
much and know things will get better for you! Enjoy unpacking and enjoy the new excitement in front of you!
Good luck, dear! I sent you an email. *hugs*
PS: Verizon must suck ASS because most companies will ensure that they will have it READY for you when they arrive. Buttheads. :p
Here’s to fresh beginnings and new adventures ahead. Cheers!
