Back in the Saddle

To go from having NO commitments to a new life that is full of opportunities, social gatherings and family outings has been slightly exhausting. I have officially been in Georgia since last Friday afternoon. I can honestly say that this (Tuesday night) has been the first time I have sat down long enough to collect my thoughts.

Saturday and Sunday I spent the time unloading my belongings and then trying to find a place to put them. This involved countless trips up and down stairs and stacking and re-stacking boxes in various rooms. This only caused my family to feel the need to reorganize some of their things… It was a vicious cycle.

Tonight was the first meal I have eaten at home since I have been in town. Starting Friday night for dinner and every breakfast, lunch and dinner since, I have gone out and eaten with a different family member or friend. Its been a very yummy and high-calorie way to catch up! For a girl who NEVER ate out over the past year and a half these past few days have been quite the treat.

Monday my dad and I headed to the Mall of Georgia for a little Christmas shopping. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as we wandered though the gigantic mall sipping on our Starbucks. We finished the day at a car dealership where my dad surprised my step-mom with a new car for Christmas. And of course we went out to dinner afterward to celebrate…

Today I ate lunch with some old co-workers and then ran all over town taking care of various Welcome Back To The State Of Georgia errands. By the way, AT&T charges you $36 to relocate and get a new local phone number. Unbelievable.

Tomorrow I have an appointment with my new employer to fill out paperwork and take a drug test. (I’m keeping my fingers crossed-JUST KIDDING). It looks like I may actually be working again by next week. It has been a very quick mini-vacation… Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded it being a little longer.

All in all, I am tired but happy. Its been wonderful to see some long lost faces and to reinvent my social life. I have no doubt that these next few weeks will be crazy, busy and really fun!!

Stay tuned.
