It has now been one month to the day since I left Ohio on the long haul to a new home and new life waaaaaay out here in Portland. A bit of the ol' homesickness has begun to set in. I miss my family. I miss my friends. I miss the comfort of familiar surroundings.
But I'm still pretty damn happy to be here. I was long overdue for wiping the slate clean. I was waking up every morning to find myself deeper and deeper in the rut that I had carved for myself over the years. It was pretty depressing to be sure.
I'm still feeling unsettled though... and not quite like this is "home" yet. I'm sure that'll turn around once I actually find some sort of gainful employment. My searches thus far have only served to put me in a slightly depressed state that all the jobs I qualify for are things that I no longer wish to do for a living, and the work that I would find absolutely fascinating require more experience and training that I have. It's giving me a big case of the blaaaahs... But that too shall pass.
What the hell am I doing here?
