running: the dawn

To say the least I’ve been somewhat distracted lately.  As soon as I learned where we’d be moving I’ve been tweaking my resume, filling out applications, and checking job listings.  Its a full time job in itself.  Seriously.  I’m not sure how to walk this fine line separating my current life and my impending one.  Its a juggling act for sure and its very distracting.

Last Sunday we drove down to our soon-to-be hometown to look for housing.  We were there for four days.  I’d hope to get some running in, but we were up early and running all over looking at place after place.  It was a little more intense than I expected it to be.  We were going back and forth on every single aspect of our decision.  Hashing it all out.  Probably too much.

To add to that, I’m currently writing this update from a hospital.  Last night we brought Mr. Dawn in to the Emergency Room because of some serious stomach pain.  After a CT the doctor decided that he should be admitted for some tests.  So here we are.  It’s not a life threatening situation, but it is painful.  The GI doctor was suppose to stop by this morning, but it’s 11am and we haven’t see anyone yet.  And so we wait.

A few things that I’m thankful for is that we are in my parents’ home town.  We had already started our drive back home and were planning on staying with them for a few days.  I’m very grateful that we are someplace with friends and family around us.  It makes everything just that much easier.  Especially last night when I was able to go home and sleep in a comfortable bed.

Meanwhile there are just over 10 days until the Boston Marathon.  Right now all plans are still a go.  We’re operating under the assumption that they will do some tests today, we’ll be on our way back home sometime this weekend.  I’ll work Monday-Thursday and then it’s time to head east.

Honestly, I think that going to Boston couldn’t come at a better time.  It will be nice to be somewhere removed from either of my two “worlds” and be able to focus on a singular goal.  Now we just need to have a doctor stop by so we can start the healing process….
