Okay, so to say my travel experience on my way out here was terrible is an understatement. Like yes, your girl is dramatic but this was the literal worst day of my life... that doesn’t include losing a loved one….. it was no joke a series of very unfortunate occurrences. As if leaving all of my friends and family to move to a new state alone with my pup wasn’t hard enough… the universe had to throw me the most disrespectful curve ball, a little extra rAZzle DaZZLe of sadness. Tragic but true. Anyways, enough of the dramatics….*she says with zero intentions of truth* So the start of the worst day of my life, I land in Philly. The second that plane hit the ground I was like WTF DID I JUST DO. I had instant regret, like I’ve done a lot of dumb shit but this…. I couldn’t even believe it. Then naturally anything that could go wrong, did go wrong that entire day. I was also sad because I was suppose to meet someone out here and that fell through so it was just me, alone, with my thoughts and Sadie being pissed at me for being in a crate under the seat for 6 hours.
WAIT THOUGH I woke up the next day... after not eating for 48 hours and laying in bed crying and feeling sorry for myself..... Wednesday came along and then suddenly its like the world shifted and things were starting to make sense again, I was happy. Idk if it was the down pillows at the hotel, or the fact that I slept 12 hours but I woke up in a great mood ready to conquer the day. So I went to the hospital that I work at now to do the standard drug tests, paperwork, and met my new boss in person. These two hours took away all of my pre jitters, I suddenly wasn’t anxious about Monday or the fact that I moved here. It just felt… right. Then I took Sadie for a walk, met someone cool, and suddenly PA wasn’t looking so lonely.
Fast forward to Friday!! I went to a Philadelphia Union game, the people sitting in front of me were amazing. Now I have a human to go with to the games AND a new group of friends. We instantly clicked once we started talking and now I have a group chat with them and its all coming together. It was actually so fun. If you know me, you know I have never liked soccer but that was the most fun I’ve ever had at a game. The crowd was electric. Just like that, I thought I could get used to these Philly sports fans. Now I am going to a second game tomorrow. We are playing Miami…. ya know where Lionel Messi plays… So I’m not sure what to expect. If we win, I am declaring myself a good luck charm for the city of Philly. That is manifestation at its finest! Mkay?
Cool thing about meeting these new friends is they are all sports fans! You know I love me some sports girlies. I love anyone who is a sports fan really but especially when they are girls. Now we are planning Phillies games but more importantly…. we are going to the Colts v Eagles game. Its just preseason which is lame and my team will probably suck BUT I am still excited. OMG I can’t believe I forgot to mention, the guy in their group they were with is a freaking Colts fan also!! We ranted about our team for like ever after the game. So I even have a new Colts fan friend. It was a good time. I was happy to already meet some genuine humans.
Fast forward to today, 8/14. My first day of work! The reason behind it all. Moving across the country for this exact reason. It was orientation and I realized I did the right thing. The company is incredible and I am so excited for the opportunity I have been given. I am looking forward learn new things, obtain new certifications, further my job experience, and my education. I dont really like to look too far ahead but I know whatever comes next will be great. BONUS, I met two girls today who are RN’s and live in the area and they were so fun to talk to! Exchanged info because I’m me and i’ll literally ask anyone I like to be friends. To be continued for that and more about my job.
You could say things are coming together. I am still only 2/3 done with unpacking my apartment but I am just happy to have found one and got my stuff and my car back. I missed my car so much. The second we got the couch and blankets back, Sadie was calm and at home. I am happy she is as adaptable as me, my sweet perfect side kick. I am sure I will have updates soon but this was just me checking in to say.. I DID IT AND IM HERE. Cant wait to see what happens next….
until next time, byeeeeee
