Off Line

The boxes are packed, the new furniture is assembled, the movers have been contracted, cable is scheduled to arrive, electric is set to roll and I picked up my keys today. I move to my apartment tomorrow.

This evening I went to the new place and just walked about the empty one bedroom apartment. It is quite nice. Somehow, tho --- the emptiness combined with the sadness just made me feel like a little kid being left at his kindergarten class for the first time.

I sat on the living room floor and cried like a baby.

So many things I wish I could change, so many things I've never pursued and so many ideas wanting to take shape, but with no energy to allow them to form.

I left the apartment and returned to the condo. I comforted myself with the fact that I will feel better once my things are moved in and the pictures are hung.

It will be OK.

I will be off-line for the next couple of days. Hope to be up and running again by Sunday or Monday. Kisses from Boston!

Matt, best of luck and much happiness in the new apartment. It's a fresh start, full of new opportunities. Take care, be well. Things WILL get better.

It sounds exciting and painful at the same time, but without pain, one can't grow. You will feel better one day soon, just hang in there!

PS- dont you hate how the cable guys say 'can you be in from 8Am until 8Pm?? I HATE that. Hopefully your building has a policy where you can sign some paper and have them come so you don't have to wait around for them.

Hey Stud, I have been keeping up with you, and I wanted you to know that I care about you, and if I were there, I would take you to dinner and out to coffee everyday until you got better :-) You, as you know, will start to feel better--but in the meantime, go easy on yourself and do what you have been doing: crying and thinking. I care about you. Tony Hoshaw.
