Getting back to it all

It’s been a bit of a weird morning for me today. I trying hard to get back to the nuts and bolts of being a consultant and a blogger today and am having a damn hard time keeping my current personal situation off of my mind.

It’s not that I’m being unprofessional and being melancholy about the fact that I have left everything I ever owned and all my friends and loved ones behind.

It’s also not that I’m day dreaming about the possibilities of a new future, new life, new start and all that it entails.

It’s more the basics of the little details. If I was at my old “home” I would be at my desk with all my computers set up and everything in place and ready to go.

I wanted to get some videos edited today yet find myself writing this post instead. It’s not that I’m not going to do the work, it’s because I can’t start yet, as I’m waiting for Adobe Creative Suite 3 to install on this new laptop, so that I can edit the images I need to insert in the video.

Even writing this post required me to download, setup and install Windows Live Writer (my favorite blogging tool) because I don’t like using the online WISYWYG’s in WordPress unless I have to.

You see what I mean, it’s the little things.

Like having to set everything up new before you can do anything. Like not having your “own” bed, or shower or being able to wander around the house in naught but your boxer shorts (or less) while working from home.

Every little thing that isn’t as you expect it should be, reminds you of the reality of the situation.

Yet, overall I think I’m doing okay.

Things are getting setup and I am moving forward. This last week has been a very hard one for me and I know the coming ones will also be difficult as it is a transition period. However, I will be transitioning into something far better than I can possibly express.

I know what lies ahead in the future will be great and that notion is a great comfort to me today.

I’ve posted my Irish mobile number here previously, +353 (0)85 2716228 but for the everyone back in Denmark I want to post this number, +45 36968985, which will allow you to reach me while I am here while only paying (at most) for a local call.

Before I go, I want to thank everyone again for their support and help since I’ve arrived in Ireland and want to extend a special congratulations to Sylvie D on her birthday.

Congrats Sylvie, I hope you have a great day. May you have many more to come.

Make sure Kevin brings you somewhere nice tonight!
