movin' on

Please have patience with my typing errors. I haven't had internet this month and have wanted to post but have to do so from my phone. I've just got two days left at Cedar Ridge. I don't know why but the last two have felt like the longest days ever. My list of things to do before leaving just won't shrink and I constantly add to it. Although I learned a long time ago that I'm completely replaceable in most aspects of life....I still get nervous each time I vacate a position. I was so nervous that the therapist taking over my clients would take forever to get the Skype contacts figured out that I broke into his office, got on his computer and sent invitations from his account to each of my client's parents. I want so badly for there to be a smooth transition for everyone in order to assuage the guilt I feel over leaving them mid treatment.
In other news I start my new job on the 3rd. I have an apt and I got a dog. I know millions of people own dogs and that its a widely occurring trend, but it's been stressful. I've lived a solitary life for a ling time and this is new and anxiety provoking.
Within an hour of owning him he ran into traffic, giving me a heart episode and attacked my landlords chicken, relieving her of a literal butt load of her hind feathers. He's calmed a bit since then and I'm enjoying his demeanor. Yesterday during our treatment team he deficated under the conference table and while I cleaned that up he deftly peed on the wall. No one saw the latter so I pretended it didn't occur.
I'm sad to leave my friends here. They have been kind enough to express they don't know what to do without me. Again, I know I'm replaceable but it's still hard to leave the good ones behind. My mom always reminds me that making friends has never been hard for me...but having to make friends IS hard. Anyhow. In a few days I'll be back on the train of change and chugging forward. Its nothing new persay..it just is what it is.
I hope all of you are well and handling the changes in your lives well!
