funny how much life can fit in these things

I am on the cusp of reaching 9 months of living in New York City. So what am I doing to celebrate? I’m leaving! Without going into long details, in the next 6 weeks + I will be away from my new home and stopping by in Utah, calling London home and visiting Milan for work.

So why all the travel? Let’s just say that I’m seizing an opportunity that I would have never jumped on 5 years ago, let alone last year. Sure, there’s going on vacation for 10 days to another country (I’ve done it in consecutive years)–but to spend almost 2 months outside of my comfort zone–not my style.  And since it’s not my style, I’m taking baby steps with this situation. I’m staying with a dear friend in London, quite possibly one of the few people that I can coexist with for a long time without getting annoyed (we even did a road trip down Highway 1). I also will be working remotely, so there will be daily focus on things to keep me occupied from going stir bat shit crazy.

I also plan to celebrate (and host) a Cinco De Mayo party, and I’m sure that the UK is so culturally diverse, that Cinco de Mayo parties are common—but I know how to throw a party.  Be ready London, oh, and let me know if you want to meet up for coffee, err, I mean tea

And NYC, to quote my friend Tammy, this Summer will be “epic”.

I’m not going to work today because of the snow, oh, and because I’m on sabbatical
