I've had a kind of nutty week (and some change) since my last post. I fell like I'm switching to the right track after a month of upheaval, and that is a nice feeling, but also a bit odd.
Last Thursday I made a bit of an ass of myself after being given not quite official notice that I (probably) got my Government job. When my friend Defence Guru passed on the good word I started to jump around like a total idiot on the sidewalks of Mt. Pleasant, getting me more than a few looks that clearly said, "What the hell is she doing?". All I can say in my defense is, I have been watching a lot of The Price is Right and finding out job news was kind of like winning the always popular new car. The only down side to all of this was is I still have to wait for my official notice and it is just killing me! I want to be able to take a jump back to the old Wisconsin Lillypad for a visit before I start working and the sooner my notice comes the better. I haven't seen any Frogger Family in 6 months so a quick visit before the rest of my month goes crazy would be nice.
Adding to my nuttiness is that after my looking at places in DC and starting to feel a bit overwhelmed, I had success. In fact, in less than 24 hours I applied to a new apartment, was approved, gave my notice on my current place, booked the truck to move (over Labor Day Weekend, blah!) and sent out the call for moving help. The building is great, my dear friend the Princezz O'Phun lives there and it will be very convenient for work, friends and DC city life. Again, there is the downside of having to pack/move. I really hate the moving process, but after 4 years of living in the burbs it's time to make the change. This weekend I already made some progress in the organizing/purging process and I have plenty of time to pack and prep for the move.
In general this feels like a very strange, but good time. I've been a bit better at creating structure and feeling productive. Today I restarted Week 6 of my running program (again) and it felt so good to be back running. I hit Whole Foods for a tasty salad and picked up yummy desert too as a reward for my hard work lately. I've lost over 15 lbs since June and I feel great! Despite all of the craziness, things are coming together the way they are supposed to. It makes me feel like the Little Engine That Could getting over the hill and starting the next phase of my journey ready adn willing to face what's coming and knowing things will work out, someway or another!
