in case you are wondering why i am not writing as often as i used to you probably didn’t get the memo: i am moving and moving is exhausting and stressful and zaps your time. plus moving reveals dust bunnies of epic proportions. i am typically torn between disgust and amazement.
i am at t-44 days and have eight work days left until i am at least not torn between job and moving anymore. then i can focus all my efforts on the move.
it is strange to know that in just 1.5 weeks i will be unemployed. of course i knew this was coming but to actually have this day looming right around the corner is surreal. my feelings are very mixed. i am happy because i know a chapter of my life is closed and another one opens up. i am looking forward to new challenges. yet at the same time it’s sad to leave my colleagues behind. it’s a very tight knit group and in the years i have been there i made many friends and have experienced more pregnant women than i ever thought is possible. in all, i experienced 12 pregnancies which results in a new baby/pregnancy for every 3.25 months of being on the job. this is the most reproductively active work place i have ever experienced.
the making closer friends at work thing i will probably not do again because it also caused much trouble. but for the sake of saying good-bye that doesn’t matter. basically, i will be leaving my current life, my friends, my family behind to open up this new chapter. stay with me for the ride!
