Welcome to Kansas City MO (Day 12) Jan 14th 2009

I should of started this blog, upon my great trek westbound on Interstate 70 to Kansas City! A bit of history on this choice. Here at my mid 40s, I decided to take a new job with the federal govt here. I couldnt pass up the money and I was itching for change in my life. After spending the last 10 years of living in the City of St Louis and working for its fine government. I felt it was time to move on. I guess, I thought it wouldn't be as challenging as moving to DC back in 1998. Which subsequently, St Louis sucked me back then. Well one thing I can say, I am still in the MO. Alway Be a Show Me Girl!! I had over the last several years had craved Chicago and applied for 100s of jobs. Well, it never materialized. So here I am working now for the US Census Bureau. An agency I worked for in the 2000 Decennial Census operations. Now 10 yrs later working on the ramping up of the 2010 Census.

Back to the challenging aspects of this life transition. I guess this is another one of those things, that becomes harder or has more impact in your life, once you turn the BIG 40. I have adjusted but the first week was so hard on me. I am grateful, I found a stable interim residence. I do miss my cats and having my own space. I really didnt know anyone here or much about KC except for a few trips. I learned alot from others. I have done well, so far. Well I am tired, going to bed.
