Now at Day 10..... Let's Review!

Day 10 in Boston.... Let's catch you up....

I got here on Tuesday morning, May 1st after taking the red eye flight direct from Seattle to Boston. May 1st... that was going to be the date that I hit the reset button on my life. No, I didn't need super drastic - just a change in scenery... I needed to be able to get somewhere and be the man that I knew that I had become which was different than the man that everyone saw.

I will get back to that.

Within 6 hours of getting into my apartment, I had a parking ticket... within 36 hours, I had two. So by the end of my first week here... I needed to get new insurance, a new drivers license, new license plates and a resident parking sticker... You can imagine how deflating that can be that early on.

My apartment is about 325 square feet of living space - yes it is ridiculously small... and with that comes challenges as well. No drawers in the kitchen, no places for pots and pans... The largest sitting area in the "living room" is 59" wide... and there is no storage... LOL....but I will make it work.... no worries.

My job... I actually think that I will like it... but my commute is a serious problem... today it took me almost 2 hours to get home... However, there is a chance that I may be able to work remotely... Stay tuned for that!

So... in the first 10 days (and THANK GOD that tomorrow is Friday)... I have taken it in the chin a couple of times. But, in the grand scheme of things, I think back and realize that a transition this big makes it very easy to focus on those things that do not go your way. So I am trying to look at those things that are...

So... I have a new home... and in working backwards... next time, maybe I can start to explain why I made that decision... or maybe I can't.

Stay tuned.... Follow Along... I like the idea of getting this all out in writing.

I thought of Cookie when I started this ... I had a blog earlier last year but I stopped writing on it. And I thank my new friend Katie, who also writes the cutest blog here... who reminded me that it might be a good idea just to get things out.

Until Next Time...
