Hi everyone,
I just thought I'd start a new thread so we'd all have a place to post today... I'm still waking up with my first cup of coffee here.
I'm in kind of a strange place right now, and feeling out of sorts. It has to do with two of the big changes in my life, and none of it is unexpected... I have accepted a new job and given notice at my old one, but it's going to be a few weeks yet before that transition takes place... so I feel a bit strange, working out my time in the old job and ready to move into the new one. At the same time, I have bought a new condo, but haven't yet moved into it. I've been painting it and getting it ready... the carpets are being steam cleaned this week, so I suppose I could start moving this weekend. But at the moment I'm in an old job and an old home, waiting to move into a new job and a new home. It's all very exciting, but also a bit frustrating because I want to hurry up and make both my moves. It also feels strange having my feet in both places, in two areas of my life, if that makes sense. I feel as if I'm running all over the place, trying to get all this stuff done, and hardly have any time to stop and rest.
Anyway, I'm not freaking out about any of it but I do realize that I'm not feeling quite my best either. I am trying to remember to take things a day at a time and let them just unfold as they will, and not push myself too hard. I'm also trying to just let the unsettled, transitory feeling of this month be ok with me, as I know that it's temporary. I'll soon be settling into both my new home and my new job and before long they will both become familiar to me.
In any event, I know one thing for sure: I couldn't handle going through this if I were getting drunk all the time. I just wouldn't be able to get through it physically or mentally. So while I may be feeling a little bit frazzled, the fact that I'm handling it shows that I'm able to cope with much more than I could have just a few months ago. So as I've said many, many times: thank God I don't have to drink any more.
That's what's going on in my world today. How are you all doing?
Mike
