M-o-v-ing

Got back to office today and blah blah blah........I am super jet lagged. It's literally the difference between night and day from where I used to live to where I now work.

Our department is moving to a new campus. So, just as there is unfinished unpacking at my apartment, there is massive packing going on at the office now.  And since I will be running on caffeine for the rest of the afternoon, all I’m feeling is “Omg, this cannot be happening.”

Coming back this time around has been interesting.  A lot of new and unexpected revelations have started to bubble up in the days leading to the plane ride.  As I sit in my office typing this up, here are the things that are on my mind in no particular order:

-        parents
-        health
-        job
-        chris
-        finance

In sentence form, the question goes something like this: where will Chris and I settle down so that we can be close to our parents with them being happy and us being ok financially and career wise.

At the moment, I do believe this is the mother of all questions.  It’s not an easy question given that Chris, me, and our families are currently located in 4 different major cities with 12 time zones between us.  How will we manage?

For me, I don’t mind moving (again).  I’ve always moved in my life, at least that what I feel.  Jenny and I met up when I was back home and I said,

Me: You know, I don’t think I can stay in a place for too long, maybe…
Jenny: You don’t say! You finally realize this about you.
Me: So, you will stay here and not move back with your dad and brother?
Jenny: Yeah, I like it here; I’ll stay.

Hummmm….

I wonder how my parents would feel about moving with me.  Heck, let’s all move, why not?  Will they like moving to a new place?  Can they adjust?  Will they be happy?

I feel like it’s time we need to do some talking soon.
