This time, I'm absolutely not pulling your leg when I say that it's been a really crazy busy month. So, I'm going to attempt to succinctly tell you all about my Thanksgiving in New York as well as other significant life events.

Breaking Up Is Hard to Do...Except When It's Harder Not To...
In a way, I wasn't really expecting it since I thought my situation with the boyfriend was improving. But, it was kind of a long time coming. I honestly don't know (except that I do, and it's not anything I would post about here) why it took so long for me to follow through on this. At the end of the day, I'm so much better for it.
Thanksgiving in NYC
Being that I couldn't spend Thanksgiving with the now-ex and because I was kind of anticipating some distance between us, I was happy to have already planned to see my best friend in New York for Thanksgiving.
We had a low key evening of cooking, but celebrated by going to see The Muppets movie.
We could only be with each other for a short less-than-48 hours, so I had to leave the next morning. But she introduced me to this delicious place called Doughnut Plant, which is one hell of a step up from Dunkin' Donuts.
Moving On and Moving Forward
It was tough and honestly really scary to know that I had to uproot my life once again. It's like I keep getting myself into the same situation, hoping for a better end result. It's the definition of crazy.
But when I had my lowest of lowest days at the end of November, December started to really show me that things can get better.
I had so much trouble finding a new place to live, and I was conflicted about staying in Brighton, which is where I had basically been since I've been in Boston. Part of me knew that I needed a clean break and moving to a new part of town seemed like the best way to do it.
Eventually, I did find a place and couldn't believe my luck when I realized I had cool landladies and roommate. I had never been so excited to pick up a key.
But never had I been so sad to leave behind all that I did.
Particularly, I am still feeling devastated to have left Mencken. It was clear that we had to do what we did - Yoni is much more bonded to me and Mencken to him. But Mencken was my baby boy. I found him on Craigslist. I know that cats adjust a lot quicker than humans do to new situations. But can you really blame me for wishing to have them both with me or at least with each other? I am so happy to have Yoni, though.
So, now I'm at my new place, and I have been since December 17th. I'm lucky to know some amazing people who helped me transport my ridiculous amount of possessions to Jamaica Plain. Anyone who helps you move is definitely owed some serious favors. I literally owe those people my life and then some.
