It's started; the goodbyes. I have received the news of an official start date for SciMan's new job. To quote Ozzy Osbourne, "Mama, I'm coming home".
Here we go again moving continents. My back hurts just thinking about moving again. The paring down, the anticipated resentment... it's ennui inducing. Thank FSM yoga class is tonight.
[uncorks and pours the Chilean white] We're moving to New York. [raises glass] Here's to Taco Bell, dishwashers, and garbage disposals. {gulps} Here's to wasting time and not doing enough. {sips} Here's to new geography and third spaces {downs the dregs}
So, I'm going to have to change my twitter handle, right? Can't be @MollieisOKinUK since I won't be in the UK anymore, n'est-ce pas?
I like the brackets [] and {}. I should've used those more over the past 2.433982 years.
Which of you live in the mid-Hudson Valley area? Can we meet up and you can show me around, like where cleanest Target is? And cafes a la Starbucksters?
Shit. Just when I got my shit together too.
I lived in Westchester county for a bit - you're timing is perfect. The fall colors will welcome you back in spectacular fashion!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it!
DeleteYAAAY! You are also going to have to change your blog name and URL! Crazzyy! You are creative and bound to find something awesome to change it to!
ReplyDeleteStarted a new one.
DeleteNew York, how jolly, I'm frothing with envy. Moving is horrid, but once you're there you'll have so much to explore. You're the second person in the last week or so who's told me they're moving from here to New York, surely my turn's coming.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Your turn is here! Go west!
DeleteI can't wait to see you befor you go! Looking forward to a good natter!

Define "Mid-Hudson". I live in Westchester, which is closer to the city (above the Bronx) but it does stretch pretty far north. I also went to college near Poughkeepsie/NewPaltz, so I know that area pretty well too. Yin & Yang = Congrats on the man's new job, but yeah moving SUCKS.
