Getting Settled
I’ve been on my own now for almost four months. It is what I’ve wanted for years but I underestimated
how difficult it would be to feel truly feel settled. But today, in its own odd way, could be a
turning point.
For one thing, I worked out in a gym this afternoon for the
first time since November. I had
transferred my membership from my old county to a location near work but hadn’t
worked out there till today. It felt
good. Sort of. Should feel a little pain tomorrow, but that’s
to be expected.
I treated myself to dinner at a neighborhood restaurant this
evening. As I was walking there I bumped
into a former co-worker; turns out he lives in the condos next door to my
apartment. Who knew? And two current co-workers live within
walking distance of my new digs.
The meal was awesome.
This is my second visit to this restaurant and I plan to try the bar
next time. It’s a potential regular hang
out for me.
Then I strolled to the grocery to pick up a couple of
things. Returned to my apartment and
sipped a second glass of wine on my little patio, soaking in the vibe and
enjoying the long-awaited warm weather.
Today is really the first day I have truly felt like my life
is settling into what I want it to be.
Cheers.
