Unpacked and Disorganized (edited and reposted)

So I am back … y...a...yyyyyBUT it shouldn’t be too bad. It’s a good job with nice flexibility and fabulous bosses, who I only see at coffee breaks. I’m just feeling a little down about knowing I am stuck here for a set amount of time. My suitcases are unpacked and put away for the first time in over 5 years. It feels a little weird not to have them near.

On the ‘Me’ side, well I'm trying to find my comfy spot here and settle in for the winter (maybe longer). Mostly I have to find things to do at home since I am still too terrified to drive in the winter, since my accident. I only go somewhere if I absolutely have to and I stay home if it's snowing more than a few flurries. I joined my dance again, so that'll get me out of the house, it's right after work, so I'm in town anyway. As for home things ... I have my elliptical, my books, my violin and guitar. I am also getting back into my lovely HPKCHC (if you don’t know what that is, you are missing out!).

My brother just went back home. It was nice having him here. We went on 3-4 hour drives through the country (with coffees and raspberry milkshakes) on various days. (I think one day we made it to 3PBH!) We just hung out a lot and talked and made things with Pixel Blocks, which we bought at a cool little store that opened below his old apartment. This led to me promising him a knitted blanket that looked like one of the creations we put together. It was a good visit and I'm looking forward to the next one. Hopefully it'll be me travelling soon ... but not before this work term ends. It'll go fast I'm sure ... right?  RIGHT?
