The Countdown Starts...

2 more days to work. 7 days until the big move. I'm tired. I've been sleeping well, but I'm just tired. I think my brain is exhausted from worrying and from planning. I've pretty much come to terms with the move itself and I even am letting myself get a little excited. I know it won't be easy though.

My bird was doing a lot better last week and seemed like his old self. Over the weekend, he started to change. He's quieter, he's eating less. I'm worried, but at this point all I can do is be there for him. I wonder how much of "the big move" he senses?

I've been meeting with friends before I go. My best friend and I went to an organic grocery story on Saturday. That's a really fun event for us since we're both interested in organic food and cooking. The store also has a fabulous restaurant. I plan to come back so we can meet there occasionally.

I'm finding some people are acting very oddly ever since I announced my move. At work, most people are very happy for me. They seem jealous. Maybe from their point of view, it's an adventure they never got to take. I can do this because I'm single. That's fine, but they don't realize that I wouldn't mind their lives at all. I would love to settle down with the right guy. I guess people want what they don't have. How do you stop that and just enjoy what you have right now?

I have a so-called friend/colleague who totally blew me off when I told her about my job and move. I sent her an email (okay I did try to call her). She never responded. I sent a second one and she didn't respond to that either. Huh? We didn't have an argument. She had been sending me job ads from time to time. The last one wasn't too good though. Maybe she thought it was fine to offer me lower level jobs and the fact that I have a better one than she does ticks her off? I don't get people. She send me those chain emails too which I find annoying. All I can say is, "Whatevah."
