New Home (again)

So this will be the 4th place this year, but I'm hoping it's the last for a long time. I got all my stuff into my new condo (I didn't buy it, just renting from the owner, Sylvia, a grad student). Of course there is stuff everyone and after 16 hours of packing and moving, I am exhausted! But today I get to pick up Pax, my kitten and get him moved in while I unpack at least some clothes to wear for the week! I am going to have a lazy day though before that. Moving is so not fun. I said the next time I move it's going to be when I can afford to hire movers!

    I'm sorry you have to move again. I wish it was to manhattan instead! At least you get to have your pets with you. :)

    BTW, we get to NY on Monday if you want to come into the city any time soon.

    I would love to come see you guys! Maybe next weekend? I can drive in or take the train. I'd love to spend the day at Central Park if it is nice. Let me know what you're up to. Sorry I didn't make it to Germany...lots to catch you up on. Had a crisis here.

Do you ever do something in the heat of the moment--led by people you trust--and it turns out to be the wrong decision? Well that's where am right now. I just lost someone I have loved dearly over the past year b/c of a moment of fear and lots of background chatter as to what I should do. It makes me so sad to lose this person because they were such a huge part of my life and stood by me through some really tough stuff. I can't imagine living life without this person....
  • runningjake
    I'm really sorry jess. What happened? Anything we can help you with?

    Mike and I broke up...and it ended REALLY badly. Now I can't get him to communicate with me at all, which makes me sad.

  • runningjake
    I'm really sorry to hear that! If you need to talk, you're welcome to come over once we get back to NY (ok, I guess that's not for awhile but you're still welcome to come).

    You are definitely more than welcome to come! So if Jorge's mom goes back early she'll leave on the 5th of August. Towards the end of August we're going to be moving out of our old apt and staying in another apt for maybe the last week so it'd probably be easiest if you didn't come right at the end of August. But you're definitely welcome to come! Just let us know when (btw, you're welcome to come before Jorge's mom leaves if you want it will jsut be tight).

    we'll be here until August 31st

It seems like a sin to have a beautiful new car, only to look at it and unable to drive it. :o(

I got my license medically suspended on Tuesday...as a result of continued concussion symptoms from the 4/27 accident. ARGH! I'm so upset. Totally didn't see it coming when I went to the neurologist. He said it could be MONTHS! I of course said no f-ing way, I have to work! And I live 40 miles away from work! So my job is letting me temporarily work from home, but only through next week. There's no good public transportation there (a 2 1/2-3 hr train ride one way). So it's all quite a mess and I'm fighting it. Also getting a 2nd opinion next week. This is so ridiculous, has anyone heard of such a thing?

He said he is required by law to take my license b/c I have lost consciousness since the accident. Actually I've fainted a few times--but its related to a medicine I'm on. He wouldn't buy it though and is making me get an MRI and see an epilepsy doctor and bunch of other stuff. Also ordered physical and speech/memory therapy, only I can't get there because I CAN'T DRIVE!!!

I need a lawyer...Paul, are you done yet?
  • runningjake
    Wow, I'm sorry you're going through this! I hope you can get it figured it out. Is there anybody you can carpool with?

  • letenele
    what accident?! Hope everything turns out ok. Sounds like your doctor is a douche.
    by letenele at 05/28/09 5:20PM
  • championisme
    dang, jess. i hope that you are able to figure something out. that's pretty scary to be fainting and such. hopefully it gets better for you soon!

  • cellophane
    WOW! I'm so sorry to hear about that! I hope everything works out for you.

I've actually been back for a few weeks not, but trying to ease back into life. However that changed quickly this week when I started my new job! It is anything but slow and easy, lol. I got thrown right into the middle of a clinical trial, and I'm literally learning how to do it all by the seat of my pants. But I love it! I finally feel like my life has meaning, a purpose. And after how I've spent the past 4 months, that's a pretty remarkable statement.
So, I am back, and will try to post more, and yes Jaki, make it to NYC one weekend!
  • letenele
    Yay!
    by letenele at 04/04/09 8:20PM
  • cellophane
    sounds awesome! glad you're liking your new job!
    by cellophane at 04/06/09 12:47PM
  • championisme
    glad you have a new job. is it like the clinical trial on grey's anatomy? :-)

  • thepolishwonder
    lol, no it's not that serious! but it will be an awesome drug if it works out!

  • runningjake
    Yay!! We would definitely love to have you. It turns out we're not going to Germany until the 1st of June now, so hopefully we can get together one way or another before that.
    by runningjake at 04/08/09 5:52AM
  • runningjake
    Of course! So we'll probably be going about June 6th- end of August. Just let me know when you want to come.

    Hey, no problem! Is it ok if you sleep on our couch? Unfortunately, our air mattress sprung a leak.

    When do you think you'd be here on Saturday? We have something in the afternoon but it's just for a couple of hours and otherwise we'll be around.

Just so you know, I will be taking a 1-2 week hiatis (sp?) from the internet and cell phone...basically from the 'outside world.' Just have some stuff I need to attend to, best done without any distractions. I am fine, I am safe, I am in good hands. Just please send good thoughts my way of encouragement.
  • runningjake
    um... so if we do come how can I get a hold of you???
