Wow, so much has happened! Had some travel, my nieces came to visit, read some awesome books, participated in a nutrition study, climbed Mt Elden, and, oh, yeah, quit my job.
It's been a few weeks full of learning and growing.
As I sit here among the boxes and bubble wrap, my tummy hurting from that hamburger and French fries I ate somewhere between dropping my niece off at the airport and returning to Flagstaff, it occurred to me that part of the reason I quit my job was to be healthier. Building block one of being a healthy person is to eat clean. No objections to the occasional fast food splurge, but come on, making an effort is probably a good thing.
Quitting this particular job means moving, btw. Not because I live in company-owned housing like railroad workers in days of yore, but because this particular town is particularly far away from family and particularly expensive in which to live particularly if you are unemployed... So off to storage it goes! Hitting the road is such a quintessential American thing, I'm honored to participate!
People are naturally interested in my plans, so I wish I had some to share. After all this stuff gets packed, I'm spending a few weeks traveling and volunteering and reassuring my dog that all this hustle and bustle is a GOOD thing. Roxy seems worried she will get left in storage. That could happen by accident, as she tends to blend in to her surroundings:
Which is why I sometimes do this:
It is for her own safety, really.
The future has begun, Day One.*

She really does blend in to the background, hahaha...
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with your new adventure or simple change in life and i think it's a good thing you are moving closer to family; you've been alone for too long and I'm sure they need you as much as you need them. You're in your forty's now girlfriend it's time for change.
You ROCK Sharon!!! ((hug))
