A Lil' o' This, A Lil' o That.

Things are continuing to progress for me at a pace that is more than satisfactory to me. I’m not sure if I mentioned it here, but I finally am back on the road. After enduring many a headache regarding the acquisition, insuring, and registering/titling of my vehicle, now I’m just waiting on it to pass inspection, pending the arrival of a replacement back tail light.

The car will open up a ton of options for me, but before I delve into any of that, it feels great to be independently mobile again, especially as winter approaches.Speaking of winter, now that things have settled on the warm and cozy homefront, I’m actually kind of looking forward to the seasonal change for a number of reasons. Aside from that, I’m happy with and grateful for the more than solid network that I have surrounding me in Boston.


It’s been a year at Whole Foods, and while it may be a gap job to most, it’s been a wonderful exercise in occupational and social rehab for me as well. I do the better part of my socializing at work, and actually find myself looking forward to going in on my off days (even as our extremely hectic holiday season approaches). 

On Facebook I noted that it took losing my main chick, mistress, momentum, motivation, money, mind, material (the last two several times over), during the course of my 20's for life to have meaning again at 30+. In other words, I had to fall allllllll the way down the mountain before the climb to have mean something. Whether I did it to gain perspective, to reject privilege, or whether it was the function of pure insanity, I am not sure. Probably a combination of the three. Onward and upward from here, and hopefully at a faster clip than I would have progressed otherwise sans the torturous yet invaluable lessons learned over the past decade.
