Boulder Weekend
Nov 9,
This weekend we did a flash trip to Boulder, to visit Sofia. We flew in Thursday morning and went straight to Maisonette, the coffee shop where she works. After that we walked around Pearl street for a bit. On Friday she had to go to class, so in the meantime Lionel, Bella and I went to have lunch at The Buff, and went to the bookstore on campus. After that we just did a Target run with Sofia, and dinner.
On Saturday we went to Estes for a hike. We meant to hike 3 miles, but ended up with 6 because we didn’t listen to Sofia that the hike was not a loop. It was cold, but we were properly dressed.
The trip was quick, and it is always sad to say goodbye, but it was good to know that we will see her again in two weeks. And the kicks was happy when we picked her up.
Halloween 2025
Oct 31,
This year Halloween was a complete blur. I even forgot it was Halloween night as I was working late, trying to close out my last official day on the job. But I was happy that Sofia sent us a photo of their group costume, and to see that she was having fun. Bella was also doing her own thing. And although we didn’t do anything together, I enjoyed looking back at the memories from the previous years.
Abuelito Birthday
Oct 31,
While I was in Boston saying my goodbyes I missed my dad’s birthday, so was glad to see that my parents celebrated it, even if all by themselves.
Goodbye gifts
Oct 31,
As I left the Boston Village, I got some really generous and sentimental gifts. I got a massage certificate for a place in Cincinnati, another gift certificate for Coffee Emporium, and a series of things to remember my 2 years in Boston and with the team.
Last Boston Trip - Part 2 - Final goodbye
Oct 29,
This week I enjoyed my walks to and from the office and drinks with friends before it was time to say goodbye to Boston, my job, and work life like I had known it for the past 3 years. The Boston IT Village had a goodbye lunch for me, and the supply chain leadership team gave me my Crystal award, a tradition for everyone who moves on. The award has the 3 words that repeat the most when the team thinks about you. Mine were collaborative, Positive, and Passionate.
Cheryl, Pete and I, who shared the same desk area, also took our very last selfie.
It was really hard to say goodbye, and even harder to keep it together, but this afternoon I left the office for the very last time. Whether I like it or not, that’s a wrap!
Virginia Ladies Trip
Oct 26,
In what ended up being our last ladies trip for now, Cheryl and I spent a long weekend in Virginia. This was the trip for two I had purchased last fall in support of the United Way. And a donation from someone at work who has a farm house there, with a guest house where Cheryl and I stayed.
It was a typical fall weather weekend and we used the time to go see the University of Virginia, visit Monticello (very sad when you think of everything that happened there), hike, and go check out a few wineries. I also bought my very first second hand item, a green jacket that I saw and liked before I even realized it was second hand.
We also tried to watch a polo match but that was a fail, as it was taking way too long to start and we just left. That was the last day. And although the last day was a bit slow, it was nice to get away. Especially before coming back for the end.
