So, I have previously written about my sudden need to move, with two cats. If you missed it, it’s here: Sheer Terror.
Well, kossacks are just the best. My cats and I have been offered crash space in the suburbs of Denver.
At first, I thought, well, if all else fails, I’ll go to Denver and then come back. But that’s ridiculous. I have been presented the most miraculous of things: a way to relocate!
This song from Sunday in the Park with George probably explains my thinking better than anything I could possibly write.
Stop worrying where you're going
Move on
If you can know where you're going
You've gone
Just keep moving on
I chose and my world was shaken
So what?
The choice may have been mistaken
The choosing was not
You have to move on
Big opportunities don’t arise often and when they do, we should grab ‘em with both hands. I once worked with a woman who was terrified of change, to the point of not accepting a promotion.
I can’t understand that. Sure, change can make you nervous. But it’s also exciting, giving us a chance to grow and experience new places/cultures. Scary? Maybe. But thrilling, too. Life is a banquet: Don’t starve to death!
AND! maybe I can come out of the closet again. Not everyone here in Pennsylvania is anti-gay: only the ones in my age group that I kept meeting. It sucks to be back in after so very many years OUT.
So my cats and I appreciate this incredible opportunity.
It’s not cheap, though. We will need some financial aid to get there. So yeah, I hate to ask, but I’m asking. Best guess, about $3,000 to get me there, including a little trailer to move stuff. Plus, y’know, gas and motels and food and things.
