Well, I started my new job today. It's crazy to take the life you've known for so long (2 years, 8 months to be exact) and venture down a new path. Today was exciting -- meeting new people, learning new stuff, exploring a new building, etc. Yes, the information overload can be quite exhausting, but I know I'll be in good hands. It's funny because I'm resistant to change in some respects, but I love it in others. Cheers to new beginnings!
The biggest adjustment for me is the routine I'd come to know. Interestingly, though, I'd come to know a life without much routine. So, lack of routine was the routine. When I was working at Emory, I was in the office three days a week and at home the other two. Also, the start and stop times were very flexible in that some mornings I went in at 7 and other mornings at 9. That being said, it's crazy knowing that I need to get up at the same time each morning. It's good, though, because I think I was able to better regulate other areas of my life (like exercising, sleeping, etc.) when my days resembled each other. I didn't quite accomplish the exercising feat this morning (no surprise there), but I'm hoping to get in a quick workout in the morning.
I was at the beach last weekend and had a great time. The weather was beautiful, the company was amazing, and I just enjoyed every minute of it. As I've said many times before, the return-to-work-from-vacation day is usually about as tough as they come. It probably didn't work to my benefit to get home around 8:30 p.m. yesterday, so I imagine tomorrow might be a bit easier than today energy-wise. I also didn't drink any coffee today. What is the world coming to these days?
I guess it's off to bed if there's any hope I'll work out in the morning. I hope everyone had a wonderful Tuesday!

Whatever!
I just saw the coolest clock ever. All of the numbers are randomly piled in the bottom corner, but the hands are still on a time -- just without numbers. On the face of the clock, it says "Whatever!" I love it! It literally made me laugh out loud.
Onto other things... I went to the Braves game last night and got a Dan Uggla bobblehead. It is awesome! It doesn't exactly look like him, but it's still cool. The Braves won a good game off of a solo HR by Chipper Jones. I don't make many predictions in baseball, but right when he came up to bat, I said, "I feel like he's about to get a solo homerun." Two pitches later, he knocked one out of the park, scoring the only run of the game. GO BRAVES!
I've had a pretty productive week between cleaning, going to the doctor, exercising, etc. It's amazing how much you can accomplish when you're not working! I feel like I would get a lot more done if keeping up with myself was a full-time job. :-) Do I usually use emoticons in blogs? Oh wait, I haven't been blogging regularly enough to know the answer to that.
I just ate some pancakes and bacon and it's 12:40 p.m. Yeah, you know it!
I really want to publish this post so I can take the "W" key off of my keyboard to see what's making it difficult to press.
Lately I've been really happy. Busy, but happy. I worked really hard over these past few weeks to leave Emory in the best shape possible. Although it was a lot of work, I feel good about it.
Well, I hope life is treating everyone well. A friend from CF camp, Megan, died this week, so she's learning what it's like to breathe easy. It's just a reminder that life is precious and that there is plenty to appreciate.
Love to all!

Chapter: Closed
Well, I know I've been MIA for record time, but I've had some exciting stuff happening...
First and most significant, yesterday was my last day at Emory. I met some great people there, so saying goodbye was hard. I had a great run there, though!
What else? There is so much to cover that it's difficult.
I went to the Braves game last night with my uncle (TH), my sister, and KS. The Braves came from behind in the ninth inning to win. They even let it get down to a full count with two outs before scoring the run to tie and the run to win. It was an amazing game! Those nail-biters are stressful, yet so much fun!
I'm standing in Starbucks right now waiting on my latte. Got it! Delicious!
As far as big things go, insurance is still dragging their feet, so my feet are still walking on no floor. Pretty frustrating, if I do say so myself, but I've learned that it's not worth stressing about because they're going to take their precious time.
Well, my friend (MV) should be walking in any minute now, so I guess I'll post. I promise I'll be back soon!
