Oh my goodness...

ONE MONTH!

I simply cannot fathom all of the things that are going to happen in this ONE MONTH. We're even working to move whirlygirl to liquidweb which is just ONE MORE THING that has to happen in the next 30 days. I've felt complicated before, but never THIS complicated-- like obviously "all-caps" complicated.

So traveling to Ohio, Kentucky, and Illinois for work is not my ideal way to spend a week-- especially when I haven't been home for more than two days in a row since the middle of April. But today in the midst of our client sessions I remembered why I enjoy my job. It's been years since I've been truly challenged, rather than simply frustrated, at work-- since I've had the opportunity to really strategize with clients to launch large content/knowledge management initiatives. It definitely has me even more excited about moving to Boston and changing my focus from federal to commercial clients. Especially sweet is the fact that I'm currently consulting for the company that I interned for during college summers-- where I dug ditches and tested valves and perpetually tormented the warehouse staff. Now I'm on the inside strategizing with the white hats-- I experienced small moments of glee throughout the day when this realization kept pinging my brain.

But those moments are balanced by my loneliness-- missing B terribly and feeling very disconnected from my real life with its errands and TiVo and sleeping in and wedding to-do lists and routine breakfast foods and walks to Georgetown and sunny window seats.

And the spoons-- God, how I MISS the spoons.
