Back to work

Today is my first day back to work after the holiday time off I used for moving to Maine. Since I don't have a home office yet (because I don't have a home yet) I'm working from a coworking space in downtown Portland. Being able to walk to work is great, second only to wfh!

Another #Maine thing I kinda knew but I had forgotten, is the statewide ban on single-use plastic bags. The first time I went to the grocery store I had to buy reusable bags because I didn't have any. The second time, I forgot my bags in the car so I had to go back and get them. The third time I remembered my bags as I was walking into the store. So I guess next time I'll remember to carry them from the start!

I didn't know how spoiled I was in Durham, NC!

So far the most dramatic difference between living there and here in Portland, ME, has been the slow Amazon deliveries. I was so used to receiving packages the next day, sometimes even the same day, that waiting 5 to 7 days for deliveries here in Portland seems... Barbaric!

On the plus side, this will train me to be less dependent on Amazon. It's not like they need my money anyway.

We made it to #Maine! This was our final stop before we get to our temporary home in Portland. I'm letting my husband take over the driving duties because I don't want to drive in the city 😅

Time to refuel, the car and ourselves!

Third stop: still in CT! But at least we're through Hartford. Getting closer!
