Man, it’s been a crazy month since I quit my job. Getting married, moving, packing, unpacking, getting ready for another trip to SF. Life comes at you so fast right now, there is no time to slow down and think, let alone write. I’ve neglected this blog for a while now. Have tons of pictures to post and things to blog. Maybe after the SF trip I will be able to put in some personal time to reflect and write again.

But the new place is wonderful. Right now, I’m looking out the two big picture windows, I mean, huge windows at the pond and the condos across the pond. Can’t believe I actually live here. Still feel like I am just staying at one of those resort place and I’ll be leaving in a few days. Pets are adjusting pretty well. At least no blood has been drawn yet, benny has taken to the walks very well. And there is a very nice park with a lake just arond the corner. I never knew about this park in the 23 years living in this town. I’m living my dream right now.

It’s been a while since I last wrote in this blog. Lots have happened since then. I’ve gone back to Taiwan and visited mom, I’ve put in my 2 week’s notice for my job, Leo and I got our wedding bands and he insisted on wearing it, we’re gonig to Vegas next week to get married, and San Francisco for our honeymoon. Whew! That was a busy, emotional and life changing month.

Now I no longer need to struggle out of bed to go to a job that is depressing and unrewarding. I am giving up a good income and stepping into a life that has no financial assurance from a steady income. But I am excited and I am happy and I can’t wait to start a new life that gives the control back into my hands instead of living a life according to other’s timeline and priorities.

It will take some time to let that sink into my consciousness. I still have the urge to check my email to see if there is any urgent problem that needs my attention. The fear that if I don’t check in I will be the end of the finger pointnig and labeled an unsatisfactory worker is still ingrained in my subconsciousness. That invisible seize and stress is still so ingrained in my mind and hard to break. It’ll take some time.

Life is changing and still coming at me with full force though. Need to dejunk the house, sell it and move to the condo. Car needs maintenance. Pets need shots. Yard needs to have the fallen tree removed. Plus now the arrangements for the condo matters will falll somewhat on my shoulder since I don’t have a ‘job’ any more. Life is never easy….
