The day has finally arrived – our new office is open for business! It feels so big after the months of makeshift spaces. Not a particularly bad thing, however. All this space will inevitably be put to use storing something. For now, though, I feel like I’m rattling around in a giant void; removed from the family, few guests in the off season, even the dogs don’t come out here much….. yet.


Everything came together beautifully. I’m quite sad I won’t be able to enjoy it for much longer. My own moving day is just around the corner. Fifteen more days, to be exact, then I’ll be gone. On to a new, thrilling adventure, of course, but at the same time there’s still a lot I’m leaving behind. I’ve been part of the Motel off & on for 5 1/2 years . . . far more than any other job I’ve had. Never have I gone so far from my family either. I’ve gone away before, but it was never so much that one couldn’t decide to pop over for the day anyway. And not that it’s going to be impossible to do now, just more difficult, but all the same . . . . it feels like another continent.
I guess this is growing up.
But never fear Faithful Reader (really- who am I kidding?), I’m leaving you in very capable hands. As fate would have it, my very best friend happened to be in the job market just now and is going to take my place here! Plus, with a reliable internet connection at home, I’ve decided to start a personal blog dedicated to Isabelle, my pretty pretty princess paws (read: cat). Thus I will be able to check in on things here, put in my two cents, and, should anything exciting happen where I’m going, post little updates on my new venture. So we’ll be in touch. As I bid you adieu, I wish you a warm & joyous holiday season and thank you for tuning in while I tried to figure out how this blog-thing works. You’ve been ever so patient. I’ll see you (sometime) in the new year!
Good night, and good luck.
