I’ve moved out for the most part. I am acclimating to the new place. I have about two to three car loads left at the old apartment. I hope to get those done this weekend but my hard date is Wednesday before I head to Houston for Thanksgiving. And then just like that, a five-six year chapter is done. I have a five year journal that will be completed in December. The timing of that is perfect.

This is my fourth consecutive November of blogging every day. In previous years, I haven’t missed one day. This month? I’ve missed three. This makes me twitch.

This weekend’s fun plans include riding a steam train to a small town in Texas with my little from Big Brothers and Big Sisters and a self guided art tour around Austin with Michelle.

Moving last weekend was so hard and I took Monday off. I hoard my days off for travel but heartache is a bitch and I was not functional. This week I’m really thankful for showing up to work 4 of the 5 days and for existing. Kim tells me I get points for existing.

This week’s moments of bliss: ♥ Ally McBeal marathons ♥ taking a personal day for the heart ♥ betting on good things ♥ Friendsgiving with Anita & AshleyD ♥ winning a gift card at work ♥ decluttering ♥ girls’ dinner at Arro ♥ early bed times ♥ funny and encouraging email from Brittany ♥ one of my coworkers is a cookie fairy ♥ inadvertently sending an inappropriate thought meant for a girlfriend to a coworker, then laughing hysterically about it in horror with girlfriends
