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!

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....

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?

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!

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.
