My last week of work at Thanksgiving Farm was busy and eventful. Trying to help set things straight for my departure and packing, I was pretty swamped. My last day of work was wonderful, with multiple going away gatherings for me. I was surprised, to be honest! I haven't made a lot of friends down there, and it felt nice to be appreciated and to know that some people did care about me.
I got all packed up on Saturday afternoon with help from a dear friend, and heading back to The Farm and have been there since. It's great to be back at The Farm, a perfect place to just get my barrings again. I was offered and accepted the position at The Ranch, and will be starting April 25th. I'm really happy with my decision - it's the sort of environment I need to work in for a while. I'm also close to my parents, some old friends I grew up with, only 2 hours from Albany, MA, and Burlington. Perfect. And the flexibility to go and see all those places! Woo woo!
I am also very relieved that I don't have to work for three weeks! I'm taking much needed Angie time. I'm going to Texas next week to see my brother and his family. Being at The Farm, like I said, is a wonderful "respite" and it's great to be around supportive people again.
That's about it! I'm sleeping a lot - I didn't realize how exhausted I apparently am. Playing rugby - sssoooo wonderful to be out on the field again. The first game is this weekend though...not sure if I'm ready for that quite yet! I'm feeling more confident and comfortable than ever, a lovely feeling.
