Ahh, it's been months now, hasn't it? I'm home, in The City, at last. But I miss Oregon terribly, and find things greatly changed here. It's not MY city anymore. I'm not sure what to make of it, or me, or my place in it. I need a a job, but am reluctant to return to the old waitressing gigs. More meaningful work is harder to get and often pays less, and I don't feel qualified.
However, I'm working on publishing an article from the thesis. It won an award, a check, and the opportunity to publish, so I could hardly pass that up. It's more than I could have hoped for.
Only if I had one wish right now, I might waste it on asking for a cool breeze, or an air conditioner.
