Wow, Time Flies!

I'd say time flies when your having fun, but not all of the last few weeks was a laugh riot. Nothing terrible, just the usual busy, busy! In the last three weeks I've done the following: Moved, unpacked, started a job and in general squeezed in a life.

My move went shockingly well over Labor Day weekend. My job started with few hitches and only a little first day angst. The last few weeks have been a whirl of Federal Govt forms, admin stuff, lots of reports/information to absorb and joining/attending the Govt. Agency gym. Gotta say, being able to hit the gym over lunch or really whenever I think of it is great!!! It's nice to be employed again, and in a place full of benefits and tolerable work environment.

I still need to get a real grocery store run in, but overall being closer to friends and in the city has been good. Can't promise tons of blogging for a while but we'll see!

Moving On: No More Suburbs Just the Swamp!

After much preparation and anticipation FroggerGirl has officially moved lily pads from the Swamp Suburbs into the Swamp proper! I absolutely hate to move. So much time, money and resources have to be wasted on packing up and hauling my crap from one place to another. On the plus side everything went swimmingly! Only one minor hiccup involving elevators and some fellow tenants trying to poach my reserved move-out/elevator time, but it was amicably resolved and didn't mess with the process too much. Plenty of help provided by friends and while I'm still exhausted from it all, I am moves and that's what's important.

The move has had a funny side effect. I haven't been able to obsess or stress about my first day of work tomorrow because too much else has been going on. Now with about 12 hours until I report to work it's all starting to set in. I'm not stressed, more excited and a touch freaked out, but it's all the natural and good emotions. I've been to focused on unpacking and organizing all of my life so I feel comfortable in my new space...and it's sort of working. Any move makes me feel a bit disjointed. A new building to get used too with different neighbors (one of which is the fantabulous Princezz O'Phun!) and news things to remember. Twice this weekend I had to remind myself I live in the Swamp and switching my route back to my new digs, not the old place in the 'burbs.

So before my total exhaustion sets in I have a few more papers to look over, fill in and in general get myself centered for the big day tomorrow. The lily pad is almost gilded to my satisfaction, so I'm sure before long this will feel like home, which will be very grand indeed!
