Highs and Lows

The moving van is arriving in 48 hours.

I'm not packed.

I have tons of loose ends to finish before I leave.

My office gave me a farewell party today. It was there that I realized that I'm leaving. I've been so busy distracting myself from everyday life that it just kind of hit me. My project manager was a beast, but I made some good friends at the office and will really miss them.

I took another job offer. I felt torn between both places and asked for advice from so many different people. I took the position that will be working in a university setting. I am going to use these next two years as my rebuilding years. Hey, if the Bengals can say they've been rebuilding for the past 15 years, I can take two years, right?

Sometimes, I let the reality of life without K settle on me. There's relief mostly, but there is some sadness and hurt. I had painted this picture of how life was going to be and how things would turn out. Yes, I know that picture would have never turned into reality and I'm working on letting go.

AlexCat and I have been spending lots of time together. I never, ever pegged myself for a cat person and I don't actually like other cats, but I am in love with Alex. He has this huge personality in his huge cat body. He watches over me when I sleep, he whines when he wants wet food, he whines when he wants attention, he whines when he wants to play. So, he might be a little bit of a whiner and maybe a little bit high maintenance. Birds of a feather, we flock together!
