DAY 12 - Wow, this is quite a challenge!
So since the last entry we've been hanging tight at the Sturbridge Host Hotel, biding our time till we leave Massachusetts.
We had the chance to take the two little ones to OSV (Old Sturbridge Village).
Falicia was with her father so was not with us. It was a decent trip and we chose to ride the river ride as well as hit the stage coach ride through town, both a first for me, even though I've been many times. I was a bit disappointed with the place as it has lost a lot of it's charm with the bad economy. Very few actors and role players, most being substituted for simple descriptive signs. The kids seemed to enjoy it and it was a nice day out overall.
I also had a chance to take a night out with some former coworkers.
Had a nice night out and even though I tried, they refused to allow me to pay my way. It was nice to see that some of the people I worked with for 12 years actual cared enough to hang out with me once before I left. I was not anticipating much of a show but the ones who did come, were really the only ones that mattered anyway.
Jamie and I also spent a night at my oldest and dearest friend Paul's house. We have been friends since we were nine and it will be one of the toughest things to get passed, not being able to hang with him. We have had a lot of time apart in our adult years, as we live a good distance from each other and both have complicated and busy lives, but the option was always there.
I've learned that there is very few things that make me concerned about the move, as I will miss very little about this state.
On Sunday, it was my boy, Jayden's, 4th birthday
and we spent the day at Jamie's parents house celebrating. It was a good time, with burgers and dogs as well as cake and ice cream, always a crowd pleaser. Of course just more additions to my lack of being able to stay nutritionally focused thus far. The serious lack of choices with food and the inability to cook normally is killing my digestive system and my gut has been a total disaster. I've only had the chance to workout a few times since the trip, once being at Sim's up the street from the hotel which gave me a decent resistance workout.
Well either way, we've got another 5 days in this hotel and then we are off...it may be tougher once that happens to make much blog updates unless we can find a wifi somewhere as my iphone is doubtful with this blog...
