power walking

I woke up somber this morning and have remained that way today. I suppose I imagined that I would be elated and I'm not. The harsh reality of prolonged goodbyes and an empty home have hit harder than I could have predicted. For the first time, I will be a nomad without a home or my own space, in a foreign land and I have no clue as to how that will feel. The irony is that the whole point of this journey is to seek simplicity and move complication and drama out of my life. I have managed to do that and perhaps the catharsis is so powerful that I am reeling in its wake. I just have to muscle my way through this week and all will be revealed. Allegedly.

where ma head?

Dear Blog,

Hi. How how are you? I am sorry for my inexcusable neglect. You see, I have completely lost my mind for the last TWO months. It's my fault really- I have made a series of decisions that have significantly impacted my ability to function properly on a daily basis. I will try my best to keep up and stop meandering from place to place.

Things are changing so quickly and even though said things are happening to me, I am having a hard time keeping up with it all. Literally, everyday, decisions are made that have a monumentous impact on my near future. It's a rather unique position to be in, actually. I have been settled in for the last decade of my life in Tallahassee and *poof*. I am on the spin cycle in the washer.

I am coming to terms with it all and drying my tears. My upcoming path is shiny and new. Then it will be my life's mission to find the best key lime pie in all 5 boroughs. You gotta have goals, right? Plus, I need to fit into these jeans I just bought last night- apparently I underestimated.....my size. Biscuits and key lime pie ahoy!

In conclusion, I will make a conserted effort to keep up with you, blog.

Love,
A
