Welcome Home
Hi! I've been slacking with the blogging since I came home :-) I have received a number of e-mails, and even one phone call requesting that I blog ;-) Soooo...here I am!! :-) I'm back in New York!!! It just started warming up here too! I even went out last night in my flip flops. Although my little toes were frozen by the end of the night, and I had to blast the heat so I could feel them to drive, I was quite excited to be able to wear them!
I've definitely succeeded in disrupting everyone's life in the two days that I am here, but my mom and Bill are taking it into stride, and my mom only had to hint once that when I was READY, I could move the boxes in the basement so we can walk through it. I actually went a step above and beyond yesterday, because I was bored out of my mind, and re-arranged the WHOLE basement! And even moved my REALLY REALLY heavy bed all by myself! (Yes, I am very proud of that.) Anyway, it looks really good and you can walk from one end to the other now! You can even see the TV while sitting on one of three couches ;-)
So, last night I set some new goals for myself. I've been kind of depressed about loosing my life in Texas. (I know that is my own fault and one of my chosing, but I guess you can realize how much I really did enjoy Austin, and my friends...and my apartment.) I've also have a rough two days trying to remember that it would be a BAD thing if I came back here and everything fell into the same routine that I left. I have to keep reminding myself that this uncomfortable feeling of "being mis-placed" in my own home town, is OK. It's good actually, because now is my opportunity to make Rochester what I wasn't for me before my Austin Expereince. So...my new goal that I set last night is: Make Rochester my old Austin.
I actually woke up this morning feeling really rested, and happy, and motivated...(well after I watched a movie on TV...then I was motivated) Last night, I started looking up apartments for myself. My mom and I discussed it, and it seems like it might be a better idea for me to look for a 1 bedroom/studio apt. for now until September. I found a bunch downtown--all studios, but are really cheap on my new budget till September. That gives me hope :-) Not that I don't like living with my mom, but it's so far away from work, and I just feel pretty unsettled. Oh yeah, and did I tell you my sister is moving home for a month in the summer, so we have to share a bed together for a month? :-) As fun as that might be for the first week, I am sure that Chrissy and I would be hating each other by the end of the month ;-)
So anyway, now I have to go out to the mall and buy a mother's day present, birthday present for Jake, and birthday present for my mom.
