i'm in the land of in between. this is familiar but still not a fan. through all the years of military life "orders" were received. excitement or dread depending on the new place. then the process of leaving. two shipments - an early and late. purging belongings. it would all come in cycles of rush rush rush....then wait.
wait
about four weeks before the move you're just ready for it all to be over. you want to say the last goodbyes, pack the last bag and JUST get it done. the one foot here one foot there. ugh. and so it goes now.
i'm about a month out. i'm already feeling the distance of my co-workers. i'm now outside the loop. it is weird. and, half packed, half planned for new space...no job...still in a job...just the pull of the in between.
and it's sucky.
bye.
Amazing how relationships change when it's known you will be leaving. A variation of getting divorced. What surprised me was the reactions of those you didn't expect - faithful friends always (surprise). But in this case there are those on the 'new' end that you both know and love and wonderful things to happen. Focus and be mindful of those.
