I have kind of been in a funk lately (Rick would say for quite a while). It’s not that I regret moving here, because it did get Rick out of the nuclear industry and he is MUCH happier, but I miss my friends and family soooo much. It didn’t help this week with the Katrina anniversary and so much coverage of the people I know and love.
Last year everything in Vegas was a novelty, including the heat, but this year it’s just not cute anymore. Logically I know that I have so much to be thankful for, especially my family, but there is still something missing. I have made a few good friends at work, and now Carla lives here, so that helps, but I still miss everyone back home. If for some strange miracle we had the opportunity to move back, about 75% of me would jump. The other 25% still has reservations about moving home, the same reasons we had for leaving in the first place. But I keep thinking at least I would have my friends to fall back on, not only in a thoughtful or spiritual way, but in a physically being there way. If only I was independently wealthy and could fly home once a month. That’s the other thing – it is way too expensive to live here.
Ok, enough of the depressing thoughts!! In between the sadness I did manage to make some good memories along the way, so enjoy!!
