Today, I continued to working on the packing. I promised Dan that I was going to make him proud by taking care of as much of the packing as possible before I left. He has been an unbelievable support system especially the last few years. Every day, he has gotten up with me and made breakfast, laid my clothes out, walk the dogs, and see me out the door. It is a unique experience this week as roles have quickly reversed. (I reminded him to not get used to it). I am not quite sure how I will survive without him for 2 months in Seattle. He plans to stay back here and deal with selling the house and coordinating our move.
There were a few business items I attended to today.
1. I sent in the paperwork for my temporary housing. Let's keep our fingers crossed that I don't lose out. It is extremely difficult to rent a place from a far distance. Seems like just when I find a place I like online, it is already taken.
2. I confirmed with my HFMA board that they support my continued participation with the Florida chapter. I am blessed to not only have an employer that supports my involvement but a group of volunteers who support my leadership from a distance over the next year. Being Chapter President has been a 5 year journey and I grateful that amidst this job change I will not have to give this up.
3. I did some more due diligence on my new employer. Yes, even though the job is confirmed, I continue to research as much as I can so I am ready to hit the ground running. I spent some today with a trusted colleague to learn about the differences between for profit healthcare and a faith based organization.
In addition, I started filling up my calendar with lunch appointments and coffee meetings with friends from the area. I am starting to make the rounds with friends and say my goodbyes. These three weeks are going to go by fast.
