Relocating...

As I mentioned last month, we are in the process of relocating south to be closer to family.

This is my 4th company relocation...

The 1st one was straight out of college with very little belongings, but new job, new town... 
Just a bit stressful for a 21-year-old starting out in the world...

The 2nd (and 3rd) was a bit easier... 
Same company in the same job...just moving office/home locations. 
I did a personal move between the 2nd and 3rd...
I must admit - I prefer being moved as a part of a relocation and not having to pack/move/unpack all of it myself...

Now, we are in the middle of the 4th!
I must admit - this has been the most stressful move of all of them. As I was about to pull out my hair over the anxiety, I realized the number of things that we are going through right now.

Retiring from a job...
Starting a new job...
Reliving the "goodbye" of a loved one due to legal issues...
Buying our two vehicles...
Arranging for extended warranty on said vehicles...
Selling a house - in the winter...
Buying a house - in a crazy market...
Moving insurances...
Waiting on a parking spot (the joys of working downtown)...
Living in corporate living - a 2-bedroom apartment with a queen size bed is a challenge...
(NOTE - all furnished apartments should have a soup ladle, whisk and 9x13 casserole)

If something isn't on the To Do list or a reminder on the family calendar, then it doesn't get done.
If it doesn't go smooth the first time, then a colorful word is coming out of my mouth.
And I realized that everything (including my job) is really data focused right now...
Which may be why I feel like I am crawling out of my skin.
I am 50/50 right brain/left brain...
I have to have both data and creativity to be balanced and I am not balanced right now.

So, I opened the ole blog and started creating some words...
And I hope that this will help bring me back in balance...
And if that doesn't work, then later this weekend, I get to take pictures of our youngest grand's birthday celebration...

Until the next creativity need arises...

Namaste.
