Movin' Right Along

[allyndra]

You know how good things seem to happen in a cluster, just like bad things like to gang up on you? Well, I'm in one of those phases of 'good things,' and the best good thing is my new job. I've been looking for one for a year, since I bailed out of my PhD program kicking and screaming. I'm going to be working with people I like, doing work I'm qualified for, for decent pay. How great is that? The downside ('cause there has to be a downside) is that my son and husband are going to be staying behind in Florida until the end of the schoolyear, while I'm heading out to Arizona tomorrow. I have never, ever lived alone, so this is going to be freaky weird. 

Wish me luck! I'll be incommunicado for the next several days, what with the mind-numbingly boring drive I have to accomplish, but I'll check in one everyone once I'm settled.

Good luck!!

I lived alone for two years and I loved every second of it. One day I shall have to do it again and that's just fine with me. Enjoy it, hon!

Ah, exciting but a little scary! I've never lived alone either, and while I think it'd be fun in some ways, I'd miss my beloved and the little one - as I'm sure you will. Still, the new job sounds great, and there are perks to having lots of quality time for yourself. And seems like you going first will make the move easier for your family, since you'll have a chance to "settle in" a little, find out where the grocery stores/library/restaurants/parks/etc are.

Hope the long drive isn't too terrible! And good luck with the new town and the new job!

How exciting, with your new job!

Oh, I have a similar background, having jumped ship from a PhD program when I was part way through my diss. We should talk about that sometime!

Good luck with settling in now (because I'm guessing you're there and slightly unpacked at this point), and I hope the end of the schoolyear comes quickly so you'll have your husband and son joining you, and enjoying this new phase all together!
