The first thing I decided to do today is to apply for U.S. citizenship. After 22 years of living in this country, it's time to naturalize.
The citizenship applications asks for much old paperwork to document my past. Every trip outside the country. Old divorces. Old fights. Where I have lived in the past five years. My husband's divorce. That night I spent in jail.
I don't like myself on paper. Or maybe it's just the shock of having old memories dredged up and aired in front of me.
I talked to my former boss, who coincidentally, left the mother company exactly one year ago yesterday. We talked about life after that career-- we were both at the mother company for over 20 years.
The old boss warned me that time would go quickly. He suggested I take some time to decompress before I make more plans.
I am getting inundated with messages from old coworkers, Curious. Wishing me well.
