Being in Hartford really makes me appreciate being home in New Jersey. I can't help but worry that being here will take over my life and I'm going to miss out on a lot in the next year. My memorial day weekend was phenomenal and to think that Hartford is going to deprive me of weekends like that makes my stomach weak. Even though my life is simple, I enjoy every second of it. I love friday nights at the bowling ally drinking Rammstein, hanging out on Mark's couch, visiting Nikki and having margaritas at her dad's bar, and having coffee at Suzzane's.
I'm trying to make the best of Hartford...the people I work with are starting to warm up to me and I'm getting my feet on the ground. Staying in a hotel feels a little less lonely. I've found a good pub with good burgers and great beer that the MIK guys and I have vowed to go to every week. Still the best part of my week is walking through the front door dragging my five bags behind me after my drive home on Thursday night. The only reason I can get myself through this project is knowing that it has an end.
And when it rains it pours...traveling for work has some how sparked my love life in New Jersey. I'm resisiting getting close to anyone but a few dates here and there never hurt anyone :) I'm learning the "cat string" strategy, and so far, so good.
