Well, thank goodness I have my laptop.
Right now I'm sitting in a lush house in Pocatello, Idaho, unwinding after day two of training for a new job.
It's awfully quiet here... quieter than it was when I was by my lonesome in my old town home - which was somewhat disconcerting to see emptied. But it's beautiful. Inside and outside. The owner of the TV station I'm going to work for owns this - and other houses on a sprawling property - home, and is graciously letting me stay here until I complete my training Friday. But it's quiet, and the satellite TV isn't hooked up. Not that I'm complaining. Just thankful I have my laptop and a trusty internet connection - and good TV that can be found via Hulu. (Read: House reruns, How I Met Your Mother episodes, and, of course, my constant diet of South Park.)
Although, the quiet does afford me some time to actually process the recent changes I've made in my life. I left my position at my old employer after almost a full three years and have taken a position at the FOX affiliate in Twin Falls, Idaho, where the beau happens to live. And I'm moving in with him...
So, ta da! It's not like I'm just changing jobs, I'm making several big changes at once: moving to a new and unfamiliar area, leaving family and friends, taking a sideways move into a role that is somewhat related to (though a departure from) my previous career, and - the kicker - I'm moving in with the beau.
Big changes, and they've all taken place in about four weeks. So, needless to say, the dust from these huge life decisions has yet to settle.
I'm both excited and nervous, and as my best friend told me today, it's normal - these are big things in your life... I'll balance out eventually.
I realize I'm rather infrequent in my postings, but I thought I'd let you know what I've been up to as of late. I'm hoping that this position will actually lend me more time to write - whether it be a blog post or a freelance piece or, my word I need to work on it, my novel.
I hope to elaborate on this more later on in the week, but, as always, don't hold your breath.
