THIS IS IT
Writing this from an Amtrak train on the way to EWR to catch a flight to Slovenia.
Saying goodbye to this phase of life is fraught with both positive and negative emotions.
We're on to the next one. We're not exactly sure what we'll find, but we know it's the right decision ✨

Unconventionally Unconventional
It's a crazy plan. But we're convinced we can make it work.

I'm feeling oddly melancholy. What a ride it's been. The prior blocks of life were in 4-year chunks. High school. College. Medical school. Residency.
But I feel like this past year has held enough life to compare to any one of those. Cheers to Philly. Hope to see you soon.

Ran some final errands in the city. Deposited some cash, shipped a package, got a new pair of shorts. Had to swing by RTM and get a cannoli.
It is amazing. Everything is coming together. We are READY.
Grilling out tonight to keep the good vibes rolling. Even got a cigar to celebrate.

This is it. Handed over all of my projects. Turning in my badge. Time blocking my final two days of work. Still some final pieces coming together but hopefully should get it tied up in the next 48 hours. But we're out of here no matter what. As close to perfect as we could manage. Let's go!

What a day.
Last run in Philly with sprints up the Rocky Steps.
Launched one more telehealth project.
Got one last haircut from my trusted barber.
Received and set up my new phone and travel router / VPN.
Tomorrow is my last day in the office with a celebratory happy hour.
SO CLOSE!

Text from a friend today "This is so exciting! You guys have to be buzzing!"
Buzzing captures it so well. Woke up in a flurry and have been moving nonstop. So many last little actions to get this all to go off without a hitch.
It feels so good. More than buzzing, we're in superposition!

Today was the day!
We officially packed our bags with 100% of what we're going to bring.
We could have walked out and never looked back.
Less than a week remaining of closing out this chapter and then on to the next one.

Emily and I went out to celebrate the culmination of months of work spent fighting for a work schedule that will allow us to do everything we've been dreaming of.
Late night emails, contract negotiations, work texts during dinner - it has all paid off. Now we just need to execute!

Big moves today with even more last minute schedule reshuffling.
This build-it-yourself schedule / life is not for the faint of heart.
Constant changes and back and forth. Always uncertainty. But it comes with the territory, and the flexibility it allows makes it all worthwhile.

This afternoon is my final shift in the ED in Philly. I'll miss it. Good people and good energy.
Who knows what the forthcoming EDs will hold, but that's all part of the adventure.
In other news, booked flights to see my dad in September... Fiji, here we come! ⛵️🤿🏝️

Checking a few last little things off the list. Small optimizations. We could leave tomorrow if we had to.
It's more of a waiting game than anything else right now. Important not to rush it, but instead to enjoy our final days in Philly.
But the next phase is calling, and we're ready!

Second to last week in the office. Gave away my coffee mug today.
It's weird to know that things will go on exactly as they are without me here.
The days, recycled.
I was part of this script and now I'll be part of another.
Which script is my script? I think it's this next one.

Today was a nice chill day. Some telehealth, some other computer work. The we walked to UPS and got some beers afterwards. Simple. Appreciating days like this that are less complicated.
But, as usual... always scheming, so I booked a flight to visit friends in Hawaii after the holidays 😁

Today marks the end of our second-to-last weekend in Philly. It was a whirlwind!
Emily listed a bunch of stuff on FB Marketplace and it sold like hotcakes. We spent all day clearing out the living room. Exhausted but right on track! 💪
Now on telehealth, planning next weekend's dinners 😈

Tonight we watched our last movie on our awesome 4K OLED 65" TV and Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 surround sound system. Selling both tomorrow. There's a lot of stupid and expensive BS we've bought over the years that I won't miss a bit, but I will genuinely miss the home theatre experience.

But on today's list of accomplishments: contract signed, another flight booked, going to stay with a friend for a few days(!), and got an MMR vaccine booster. 😪😮💨

Today was the first time I have been able to run since my foot injury🦵
Very grateful that my foot has healed, although I'm still babying it a bit.
Helpful to be able to run in context of having a lot of nervous energy right now and needing to get it out. Sun and exercise always helps.

On the outside, we're on the precipice of this awesome thing, but it's still so uncertain.
It seems to always come back to work and money. If that weren't a main concern, I think I'd feel a lot more at peace. But here we are. No shifts on the books yet. Doing my best to stay the course.

It's funny - we're finding this already and I think even more in the future - the fewer things we have, the more carefully we keep track of and take care of them.
