Last Days of Vacation

So, as many of you already know I accepted a job offer. Sheer craziness on my part I'm now thinking. I don't start until October 15th but I feel like a little kid at the end of summer vacation. I seriously can't believe I have to go back to work! I have done a lot with my time off but there are still so many things I'd like to do and a J-O-B will seriously cramp my style.

In addition to working again it also means I will be moving back to Raleigh very soon. That isn't what I had originally planned when I started on this journey but sometimes life takes you off the course you had planned. I wasn't 100% sure of what the next step would be but I had some ideas and I was trying to sort them out. Then along came this job. From the description it's the job I've been working my whole career towards. Can't really say no to that. Plus, if I turned it down I'd always wonder if I should have taken it. So, it's back to work I go. We'll see how it pans out. It maybe my dream job and it maybe another dead end but only trying will let me know that. At least this way I'll know. There will be no regrets and no festering resentment at an opportunity wasted.

Needless to say, it means I'm definitely not moving to Connecticut right now. The decision was still up in the air when this job came along and it would have been impossible for me to move without seeing if this job is for me. So, Clark Kent is in Connecticut finding his way around his new town and his new job and I'm preparing for my move and new job. We haven't figured out exactly what this means yet but I know that we're doing what we need to in order for us to have the greatest chance of success.

That being said, I'm trying to figure out - in addition to preparing for the move - what to do with my last week. I am definitely going to New York to see my family. They were so excited about me potentially moving so close to home that I feel like I need to see them again before I go back to work. Then I may hit a couple of places in New England to see the leaves and maybe back to North Carolina. Any thoughts or suggestions?
