I know how stressful interviewing is, just want to make sure you both are doing alright.

Mine went fine. I just didn't like the other graphic artist – he was kind of a jerk. But I would learn alot there, so I'll just take it as it comes.
How about you Poet? We haven't heard how you did.

*mwah* just for asking about me. i know i've been kind of scarce lately.
i did find a job, i can't remember if you knew that or not. the movers come tomorrow to pick up my stuff and i'm leaving on saturday to head out there.
i feel my sanity slowly slipping away with this damned move. things are so crazy around here... i had the movers show up on monday, because they didn't get the message i'd changed the date to friday... by monday, friday was booked, so i had to do it thursday instead. it's all mixed up. after i packed everything nice into rubbermaid containers instead of cardboard, the moving coordinator tells me that in order for my insurance to be valid with my stuff, they have to look through all my boxes and possibly repack everything (it's up to the truck when it gets here). grrr. they'd repack it into cardboard, and i want it repacked in rubbermaids because i have this fear of cockroaches on the truck crawling into my stuff and moving into my apartment with me.
anyhow. and to top off the insanity, i met with my exgf (i mentioned her in a previous post awhile back, she recently got some help for her mental health, too) and we talked a lot and had a great day. i finally broke down in tears and admitted how much i missed her (it's been a year since i broke up with her, for stupid reasons i think now)... basically, long story short, we decided to get back together. but she has a job now and wants to get at least a year out of them so she has experience, but i just want her to drop everything and move with me, because i can't stand to be away from her for another minute after all that we've been through (alone) this year. i should just be happy i have her back. but i want it all back-- living together and stuff. i know that'll have to wait. she wants me to be sure sure i'm happy in michigan with my job and stuff before she goes thinking about relocating herself.
i'm rambling. but that's what's new. thanks for asking about me...
lots of hugs,
ghost

You know, you're doing not one but two moves in a single year. Don't underestimate the impact this has on you - it's a huge stressor. In my book moving companies are on a par with car salespeople and ambulance chasing lawyers - not high up on the evolutionary scale!!
I've had the experience of the repacking/insurance too. Just make sure that you have enough emergency belongings with you so if the movers are delayed in arriving in Michigan - which I bet they will be - you won't be stuck with just your suitcase to live out of!
And doesn't it always seem that complicated relationships resurface just when you're making a change of your own?
I have to say that you sound like you're dealing so well with all these upheavals - I don't know if I'd have as much grace as you!

New job, new home, new state, and a renewed relationship. You do have alot on your plate! It would be unusual for you not to be a little bit freaked right now. Try not to let all the changes take over your life. Easier said than done, I know. Just be sure to give yourself some time to adjust.
Its really cool you and your girlfriend got back together! (I can't even seem to keep friends, much less form romantic relationships.) It sounds like she wants to give it some time, maybe to make sure its the right thing and not just an emotional decision. I would give her alot of room and don't accidentaly make her feel pressured because you're so excited to be back together with her. I know I've been known to scare people off that way. Of course, I'm far from the relationship expert, so you might want to do the opposite of everything I say! ;-)
