Day ? - Still haven't counted

My calender is still packed in a box somewhere, and doing math isn't one of my better skills at the moment...or ever (calculus was a deciding factor in interior designer vs architect career choice). I've decided not to unpack everything since I want to be in the city sooner rather than later.

Apropos post title, little to do with numbers however. Wishing I could understand why this move, going somewhere I barely visited, with 1 friend in tow and 2 brilliant friends a coupke hours away, doesn't count to me as doing something courageous.

I know plenty of people that wouldn't take the risk, make such a choice essentially alone. Way i saw and still see it, I didn't have much of a choice anymore. This move, take this chance, or suffer, maybe leave career field completely. So, to me at least, this still hasn't counted.

Perhaps cutting myself some slack should go on my to-do list...yep, right behind growing 6", dating an actor I have a crush on, and shooting lightning from my fingers...

Day ??? - Where have you been?

Did you miss me, cause I missed you?!

No, I've not abandoned my journey, just been over run (or run over, take your pick on the verbiage) with a multi-state move. Somehow I've managed to become a resident of the Garden State, although not as surprising as the idiotic time I ended up living in Houston, TX. The east coast fashion is getting to me and I may actually buy skinny jeans or pants, despite not being skinny myself.

Happy to say, despite some major stumbles, I have landed for the time being. Living situation isn't perfect, but its safe, with a roof over my head and no roaches or frat boys that I've seen. Commute is terrible, but work is already night and day different in all the ways I had hoped for. That was the point of this move, better work life, career goals, being treated like I have a brain...

Already looking for a place downtown, and by some dumb luck I only need to give proper notice to break my current lease. Looking at areas with a lot of activity, feeling the need to break myself out of my isolation that was STL. I can do that anywhere, be a hermit anytime, but really its time to break all those behaviors.

Not sure financials will allow me to keep up the crossfit, but I've been trying to find shooting and archery lessons that I can save for.

Adaptability is key, right? When one route doesn't work, find or create another! More posts to come, I promise....unless some spray tanned walkers catch up to me!!!
