Ya know, sitting back and looking at the past month I could do one of two things... laugh or cry.
Apartment - Small is an understatement...at 325 square feet I can cook a full meal from the comfort of my bed and I can shower and do dishes at the same time... BUT, I have a roof over my head in a great neighborhood in this city!
Job - I went to work for a company called Jazd Markets... I should have known something right away when they can't even spell JAZZED correctly! I worked for the company for all of 11 days before I realized that there is a point in a person's life when you have to walk away EVEN if it puts you in a bind. I would rather be mentally strong and fiscally weak in the short-term. I could go on and on about the bill of goods that was sold to me about this position... but it just isn't worth it. Last week was a busy interview week which has led to a second interview onsite, a third interview onsite and another company (one that I really would like to work for) calling to tell me that they are trying hard to make something happen to get me on board... it will be nice to make the decision to work someplace because I want to and not because I need to.
Seattle - Yes, of course I miss the people... not so much the city, because I really do love Boston. But I miss my friends so much that it is painful... I can't wait until next Friday when Mini-Mex (Art) and I take over Boston Pride :) ... Hopefully I will get the chance to see others too soon!
Softball - I miss Seattle as a league... it is VERY different here. There is not the league camaraderie that Seattle has... BUT my team, the Boston Club Cafe Crew... is a team that I could not be happier to be a part of. I have had the chance to play B ball here... and in a tournament (Atlanta)... and for the most part I think that I can hold my own... I have been a little physically challenged which I will take care of in the off season. But I have made some great friends on the team and I look forward to spending more time with them.
TO THE GAYS... (which could be everyone that reads this)... here is something that many of you know but may need to be reminded of... all to often the words "it is a small city" are spoken when it comes to the gay community... the 6 degrees of separation in the dating world are ridiculous... BUT I am now RE-convinced... that it happens in every city... because in 31 days I have learned how small this city really is as well.
So... I'll wrap up month one by saying it has been a ride. The people that I thought would be there for me in hard times have been and I thank you. This move was never going to be without challenges and I know that there will be more...
But after a great lil house party last night with some new friends, my go to AWESOME breakfast (homemade sausage gravy and biscuits) and a day where I have been out of bed for a total of about 2 hours... just enjoying a lazy Saturday... perhaps a little light at the end of the tunnel.
This week I am heading out to visit my mom... :)
