This is it. My last post from Lonsdale. I'm sitting in my empty house with only my computer and some miscellaneous boxes of toys and crap for a garage sale. I moved out last weekend and am just finishing up cleaning and hauling out the last few remainders. Tomorrow I'm having the phones turned off so no sense in keeping the laptop here (yup, I was on dial-up while living down here in BFE!).
Moving has proved to be more emotional than I thought it would be. While packing a couple of weeks ago and looking at the bare walls it hit me that I was moving out of my "home" and into another "house". There is a difference. I got sad. I'm getting sad again now just typing it.
On the other hand though, this past week has been nice being in the cities (I moved to Richfield) and only 5 miles from work with an 11 minute commute. This past week I've already done a couple of things I haven't been able to do for the past 10 years down here in Lonsdale; small, insignificant things you don't normally think of if you get to do them all the time - I got to go home for lunch and I got to go home in-between leaving work in the evenings and my group training runs with TNT. I smiled when I did those things.
The boys don't know we've moved yet. They knew it was happening soon, but didn't know when. They've been on vacation with their mom the past 10 days so I took advantage of that time and got it done. I'm anticipating them not liking this fact, but I think they'll come around after a couple of days. We'll find out tomorrow anyway. That'll give them the weekend to adjust. Could be interesting so stay tuned.
There might be something in the works for #3, stay tuned for that as well. ;)
Adios from Lonsdale. It's been what it's been.
