A bit of sadness, but mostly relief
Yesterday I finally was able to give notice to my employer, which stressed me out, as I felt bad for having to leave them. I know it's silly, but I always feel a bond and the responsibility I set for myself with a company. After having waited weeks for the final confirmation before I could tell anyone at work, soon after telling my employer the news, I was so relieved and overwhelmed with emotions that I got teary eyed. The anticipation, the wait, the stress, the reality.
I broke the news to the rest of the staff and those I work with outside of the company today. It's nice to be able to be open with those around me about any sort of news, esp. something so big as this. It was nice to finally start to talk about it and get feedback from others, and now that I feel relieved and back to myself again, my heart and mind is allowing me to feel excited and overwhelmed at the task before me/us!
As for life outside of work, disturbing circular dreams of boxes and packing, and what to do with furniture and what to take or not to take have already begun starting Monday night, after the final decision was made. I've already started my many lists, whether in a notebook, or via my online Google documents, I'm trying to rid my mind of the multiplying thoughts that bombard me when my mind is at rest. When not thinking about how to pack what, I feel the the slight melancholy set in, with the realization of how little time is left to spend with friends and family here. Hmm.. come to think of it, that means I need to plan a party or two, so that I can see everyone and enjoy their company, while feeding everyone for one last time! Boy, that's another thing I'll miss, hosting and cooking for my friends... I think I'll have to ask friends for any friends they know of in the distant lands where we'll be, so that I can build new friendships quicker and continue my love for entertaining and cooking for others.. and have a great time!
