I'm sitting in my dining room/living room drinking Moscato out of one of the wine glasses Jess got me for graduation. It's one of the things that mom sent from home for me to start with here in Atlanta.
It seems likes a crazy couple of weeks just flew by. The last I remember I was with Clare in Hobby Lobby buying a red purse as a way to imagine me in the job in Atlanta. Now I'm here in Atlanta. With an apartment, job and adulthood thrown in somewhere along the way.
I just finished talking to Pam. It was surreal. This is it. This, as I sit right here, is what the last 22 years have been leading up to: me, out on my own. I need a new iron. The one I have a little scary and with the job that I have, which is a little more dressy than the NNA, I'll need one that I feel more comfortable with. These are the things that I'm going to have to start thinking about. Being on my own.
I guess I still feel like I'll be back in Columbia with Greg, Dustin, Jacque and Lynn. But I know that I won't. I know this is the beginning of the rest of my life. And I'm fine with that, at least I think, but there's still something.
I bought some new clothes, including what I hope to wear to Franny's wedding. Ekk. Let's not breach that subject yet. The wine is beginning to take effect. I'm signing off, hopefully be back tomorrow or this weekend.
