Emotional Turmoil
There has been a lot of news in my life as of late.
Q got offered the AMAZING position she interviewed for…at a university in Arizona. So for a couple of days, we went through all the pros and cons of moving to Arizona, versus staying here in Denver.
Finally, after much heartfelt deliberation and some tears, we came to a decision for her to take the job and move to Phoenix.
And literally, less than two hours later, I get a phone call from a local company, offering me an interview for a marketing coordinator position, for a good deal of money and benefits…namely, INSURANCE. The job descriptions fits me perfectly.
So there were more tears, and more heartfelt discussion, and a lot of emotional turmoil. I’ve had three panic attacks in the last week…which is a lot, given that I usually have MAYBE a full fledged one all of once a year.
We have some plans. But a lot of it is up in the air right now…which is really hard for me, and is causing a lot more anxiety.
Ergo, that’s where I am right now. I should know more in a week. But until then, my brain feels like emotional slush.

Congratulations on the double-offers! Is your new job one that you can work flexible hours, or from home part of the time, or work ten-days-on, four-days-off, etc? Because you can “work from home” as easily from AZ as CO, and if you could get some regular long weekends, it’s only $150 or so round trip from PHX to DEN.
At the same time, damn. I can count on my hands the number of times I haven’t slept with my love in the past three years, and hated it every time.
Congratulations, and at the same time, sympathetic hugs. Here’s to hoping everything works out for the best, for both of you.
wow, congratulations and good luck. that’s a lot all at once! i hope y’all can work it out okay (or, preferably, well).
