I am so excited for you guys! I'm sorry we haven't connected more but I have enjoyed watching niko grow up in photos and anecdotes. Hopefully we can catch up in San Fran as Tom and I are huge fans!!! I wish you guys the best of everything in ca! You'll have a marvelous time I know! But yeah I hear you in the disconnection before big events: I'm always like that. I feel as though its part of conservation in some way. I'm conserving my energy for the actual event.
Do y'all ever get a feeling of utter disconnection when something VERY BIG is about to change in your life, or is it just me?Yes. We moved to London in October. In the Summer, I was so so so excited about the prospect. In the final month before when it actually started happening, I was completely disconnected from it. The wheels were in motion, I was very busy, then I was here. That first month of adjustment was weird. Not necessarily hard (except for the jetlag), but I was still not fully present. I had to make myself go out and then I was in looooooooooove with what we did with taking up this temporary opportunity to live over here

Your bullet points seem largely accurate, though perhaps you should say that Green Day likes Oakland rather than the other way around.
Today was a warm coat and sunglasses day which is the kind of winter I can get behind.
We're looking forward to having you here! There's a lot that's wrong with the Bay Area, but it's so damned pleasant and convenient to live here that nobody bothers leaving.
Yep, that disconnected feeling has been so frequent before big shifts in my life that I've gotten to a place with it where I recognize it and am like, "Ooh, numbness and emotional dead-feeling -- THE BIG THING IS ALMOST HEEEEERE!!!"
You are definitely going to like the weather so much better, especially if you end up in East Bay. Also, you forgot a plus: I am convinced everyone has way more sex in the Bay Area.
And the work thing will be fiiiiiiiine, for real. You'll find your niche in no time!
Also, if you do make it to NYC, come to Park Slope where all we do is hang out with the babies at home or at the park. People wrote blogs about how much they hate our mommy mafia. You can come over and the boys can play and we can break bread!
