H(ohm)

So this morning I woke up to complete silence. Opened my eyes, and saw a blooming tree outside my window. Guess where I am? IM HOME!!! It's been a little surreal, but nonetheless I'm happy to be back because I have a lot to do. I've decided that 23 is going to be my year. For the past 5 or so years I've taken a backseat to the needs of a lot of other people, and although there were some high points, I've ended up pretty much miserable with myself. This just gives me greater motivation, though. It's time for me, and I'm sure of it. I drove down yesterday accompanied by Jim driving separately (yes, he's moving too. had some stuff in his car, and leaving his car here). It wasn't a bad trip. For some reason the driving never seems to wear on me. I think that's because I'm looking forward to my destination so much. I was greeted by a howling wolf also known as Allie, who as soon as she recognized me almost actually pissed her fur. This morning I think I also surprised her...maybe she thought she was dreaming when Jim and I came in. She was just as excited to see him. She's a flirt though, always taking away my men's attention. Bitch.:) As of now she's under the computer desk, licking my foot. The royal treatment when I come home, of course! Two does just walked through our front woods, and the biggest turtle I've ever seen walked across the lawn. Maybe they were hired. lol. This feels so good. I'm gonna miss everybody so much, though. In leaving I was reassured how special my friends actually are to me and how special I am to them. I already knew I had good friends, but I guess when you spend those "last days" with them, and they're a good time, you realize the meaning of the friendship. I really hope all of their lives turn out to be everything they wanted. Hopefully, I'll get some visits. This is karma because I was always the one travelling to see anyone. Now it's their turn. There are also people I said goodbye to that I know I'll never see again. They meant a lot to me, and I'll always have memories. Right now being home is like a huge exhale for me. I needed some silence, I needed some clean air and pretty views. Unpacking is going to be horrendous, however...lol. I guess my final move home has just restored my faith that everything that is meant to happen does.

DID YOU GET A JOB YET?!?!

Just kidding. Hope you're enjoying yourself, decompressing, etc. I'm set for a big move myself. Must be change is in the air. Portions of life coming to completion. Mom was a blast to have visit. My friends liked her a lot, and I think she had fun too.

I'm kinda jealous that you made it home already, but I've still got a good amount of work to do in "the world."

Let's talk soon...
