A new chapter

In the past year, there have been a lot of changes in my life. My ex-husband and friend, Sean, passed away at the age of 39. My boyfriend's grandfather passed away leaving his disabled son without a caregiver. My boyfriend and I decided we would take care of his uncle. Since that decision, we have been surviving a two state relationship in which he travels back and forth to Oklahoma. Sometimes with his uncle, sometimes alone when another family is able to care for his uncle. Long distance relationships can work but I have decided it would be easier to live closer to him and his uncle. For the past three months, I have been actively editing my resume and applying for a career in my chosen field. I was starting to get discouraged when I was unable to find the right fit for me. Don't get me wrong. I had interviews. I just did not have the experience that was needed and honestly, I did not feel I was the right person for the job. I am happy to say that all that hard work and waiting paid off though. I have accepted a job in Golden, Colorado. I can not wait to begin this new chapter in my life. Now begins apartment hunting, packing, providing my work with a resignation letter, informing my current land lord that I will be moving, and of course, saying good bye to the client's I have built a working relationship with over the past year. I am happy, sad, and stressed out all at the same time. It is a lot of stress. I thought I was handling it pretty well but what my mind is telling me and what my body are telling me are two different things. Today I have been dealing with tremors. I am not sure why. I looked up the side effects for my seizure medication. Tremors is a side effect. I guess I will not panic then. I am trying to remain calm. Stress is one of my triggers. I think I am doing very well considering. One month to move to another state......this is suddenly feeling more and more real. One day at time....I need to tell myself to take one day at a time.
