Hard to believe that it hasn't been that long since making the transition to Northern VA. I look at the last blog and it feels like I posted it a year ago. Not even two weeks.
It's good to be here, on my own, under my own terms. It's good to be out from under preconceived expectations and a past full of setbacks. It's time for a fresh start, for change, and for me to focus first on getting my career straight and second on getting my life back in order.
Today, I had the worst sense of ... I can only describe it as vertigo and loss. I am watching an anime called Vexille: Isolation. It triggered this horrible feeling of mortality. The movie takes place in 2077, and there's a book included with an interview with the director talking about how there's not a lot of chance of the events in the movie happening before that year, which got me to thinking how old I would be in 2077...99. I dunno how to explain it any better than that. Creepy, this whole dying slowly thing...
Enough of that.
picture time:
Beer and Sushi - dinner the first night.
The Wall of Doom...or rather, all of the things I was never really allowed to put out due to being married to someone with a phobia for knickknacks and anything "strange."
Sitting in DC traffic, trying to get here.
Travel Nexus...or The King Street Metro Station.

Glad to see you're getting settled in. I'm sure it will take some time to adjust to the change. For me, when I first moved to Charlotte, I thought the adjustment was quite thrilling...new faces, new places, etc. There was just something about the newness of it all & so many things being unfamiliar. I needed the change at the time though, and not knowing what I'd be facing each new day was quite exciting for me. I hope this opportunity is just as exciting for you!
