So it's been a month since I got here to Florida, and a month today since the job began. About all I have to say about the job is it's just that - a job. Thank goodness I've become accustom to "crazy" at jobs over the years because I don't think I would have made it past the second week...apparently, like the last Help Desk Manager at this place. The key thing is that the people I work with day to day are really great, and that makes all the difference.
Florida.Is.Great! The weather has been wonderful, but I will quickly learn what the worst of the heat and humidity are going to be like since I think Feb/Mar was "Spring" and April begins the summer season. We'll see what it's like here with day-in/day-out humidity (the hair is already protesting greatly). Somehow, just being outside with the sum and warmth most of the time as opposed to some of the time just makes my heart smile. I said to Tom that I am definitely a descendent from the evolutionary chain that crawled out of the sea and laid on the sand.
Tom so generously gave me an old laptop so I can have access to this blog, etc. much more often, so I will plan on posting more. Stay tuned....

A New Start
So I'm going to try to keep this blog thing up because with moving and all, well, why tell the same story five dozen times. I'm already getting confused about who I told what to. (And NO, that's not age, it's this stressful time!)
A new start to things, on so many freakin' levels! Isn't this what we dream of? Isn't it what I've dreamt of over the last couple of years? Hell. Yeah. Hey, for anyone reading this who has known me for any length of time you will know that I've been through the ringer as far as jobs and dating has been concerned. And yes, that IS and understatement. Lord knows that was all HELL, so the last five years admittedly have been blissfully and boringly stable.
Uhhh...yeaaahh... that doesn't work for me.
So honest to God, about 18 months ago I said, "That's it. I know what I deserve. I deserve to be in a great relationship. Enough of this bullshit. Send him to me now." And you know what? He arrived.
And then I said, "I deserve to work at a company who appreciates everything I am, where I can excel and feel like I'm accomplishing something. And make it someplace warm!" And voila.
OK, so I oversimplify, but I'm really not kidding. Whether it's The Power of Now or The Law of Attraction or whatever the hell some guru claims works, I'll be damned if it didn't. Of course, I should have asked for money, but hey, I'm still perfecting the process.
So I've been packing, which hasn't been too difficult. I mean, sentimental me, you know, always keeping stuff. NOT! I've been throwing shit out and making trips to Goodwill for months in preparation for this. I've been purging for a week as I space-bag my belongings and look at everything with a newly minted, "did I ever really even need that?" attitude. Damn uplifting, I'll tell you.
I'm headed to my new home in Florida on Wednesday, February 15 with plans to arrive.... yes, on my birthday. Happy Birthday to you, Sherri (she writes with a combination of astonishment and smugness). You've got to make this life your own and, as always, I will.
