Girl, Interrupted

Since my last post, I have been through a whirlwind of emotions! If you read the last post, I think you will see that I was rather torn about the move and the bittersweetness of it all. Then Monday came. Wow. Monday left me feeling even more frustrated and lost, than ever! I felt a bit "fuzzy headed" that morning when I woke up. Possibly nerves. Possibly lack of sleep. What ever it was, I just couldn't seem to form a logical sentence all day long. It felt as though I had so much going on in my head that at any point in time, my head would explode. Yeah. Not good. I went on into work, which I thought would take about 30 minutes to get to. Um, obviously, that didn't happen. Almost an HOUR later I get to where I am supposed to be, and not because I got lost, believe it or not. Because it was that far. However, thankfully, I will not have to go to the office but about once a week, and the majority of my appointments will be set from home. I really am excited about working from home. In addition to all of that the county that I will be working is rather large, but is only about a 20 minute drive from where I am staying. By the way, I am staying in the small town of Temple GA, about 25 minutes from Douglasville, and 40 minutes from Atlanta! I love being so close to the city, but still having the feel of a small town.

Anyway, my frustration yesterday, stemmed from several different things. However, none of them are important now, and I have been able to sift through all of the emotion. I did get my Garmin up and working, and I think that will be one of the most helpful tools I have in "finding" my way around.

Today is a great day! I had a rather productive and much needed B2B meeting this morning at a quaint little restaurant called the Olivetree. It helped my feeling so much to be able to interact with people, and focus on my job at hand. I made several great contacts that I will be able to build upon as time goes on. Everyone is so welcoming here, especially towards the girl from Alabama!

I am so excited about the countless opportunities that this place holds for me. Oh! And I haven't even mentioned the shopping! I am going to have to stick to my very strict budget there, but my lord...there's a million different things here to do. I almost feel overwhelmed because I want to go discover them all at once! Like a great friend said yesterday, "Amy, you didn't even wiggle your toe in the water first...you jumped in with both feet first." Yep, that's me. Jump first...ask questions later. And I like it!

Here's to the journey and self discovery!
