No, not the Clooney movie, but my life.
The last month has been tumultuous to say the least. Batman visited for the Tall Ships weekend here in Waterford, which was a great weekend. Then he went home. And thats when it started. The distance has proven too much for the caped crusader and he/we decided it was time to call it quits. Unwillingly it happened. Then less than 5 days later I received word about an interview. In Hull. Ironic. So, I went to the interview, got the job, and am moving to Hull in less than a week.
Three years with him, trying to find work to be in the same place as him. We break up and the universe gets a sense of humour. But, beggars can't be choosers, and as there are no jobs on this side of the water I accepted and am now leaving Tramore. Again. How many times is this?
So, my future is all a bit of a jumble. I have a good job, but no guy to come home to at the end of the day. I have great friends who let me stay on their couch, but no place of my own. I have a fantastic family that are loving and supportive and encouraging....and I am choosing to leave them behind. I think that is going to be the hardest part.
But new beginnings and all that jazz. New job will lead to new friends. Living on the couch will push me to find somewhere to live. And Batman and I are going to go back to the beginning and date for a while, see how things lie.
All in all, I have no idea whats going to happen, but I'm excited to find out.

Okay... that's twice that my posts have been transported into the ether. I need to come back to this on my next break. If this one doesn't post, I'll email you.
Ahh... the key is to click on Name/URL before hitting "publish your comment". Kind of a bummer, since I had said some rather profound things in my first post. *grumble*
Sorry to hear about "Batman". Congrats about the job in Hull!
For what it's worth, I think you are making the right choice. I moved away from my family to start my own and it wasn't easy... in fact, it still kind of sucks. I would love to be closer so that my parents could see their grandchildren grow up. But we moved away bacause we knew it was what was best for us as our own family. We will probably move closer some day, but for now we have to make our own lives.
