ya'll. it's been a hot second since I've updated this blog.
I'm a resident of Illinois now and I can hardly believe it. So many adventures. A couple of my friends have mentioned that they would love to move somewhere and "start over where no one knows your name" and let's be honest, it's not the best idea to do on a whim. It's hard, and lonely sometimes...that's what she said. But for real I knew roughly 5 people when I moved up here and how many do I know now? 5. Granted those 5 people are fantastic, you still get a little lonely. I picked up everything and moved to a new city for a new start. I wanted a new job and a new place and some fresh scenery which is what I got. It's a blessing and a curse, really. But there are 50 states in the United States of 'Merica and damn it I want to experience more than Asheville. I signed a year long lease so maybe next September I'll move to Kansas. Jk, no one voluntarily moves to Kansas. Anyways here I am in Naperville Illinois. Writing this blog from my (second) air mattress. Why do I have 2? well let me tell you a little story. Once upon last Friday night, I woke up and had go throw up because I was sick to my stomach from some sketchy crab wontons from a Chinese place, I got up a little too violently and my air mattress got pushed in to the wall where my baseboard heat thing is, and that was all she wrote. Less than two minutes and it was flat as a pancake. I'm going to get a bed when a couple of pay checks roll in and then a kitchen table and a couch. You only get to be 25 once (and for me, that time ends Sunday) so I'm making the most of it. That sounds a lot like #YOLO. But for real. Being up here has been a really good choice. Speaking of what's happened since I left Asheville...
I got a job! I work for ATI Physical Therapy in patient accounts and got quite the hefty raise! I also got an apartment (obviously) I'm not going to say where as I'm not sure who reads this trash I call my blog and I'm not trying to get murdered. But it's real nice and I have a balcony that has a "lake" (pond) view. #fancy
One of the biggest adventures is driving and navigating. I can go to approximately one place without my GPS and that is Target. I've learned the streets that I drive on to go to work but I don't know which one I take for how long without Edna (my GPS) yelling at me every half a mile to tell me.
So that my friends, is what's happening in the life of Nessie. Which is my hashtag on instagram and the title of my future book. #thelifeofnessie #comingsoontoabarnesandnoblenearyou #in2040 #maybe.
