the next few steps
and this is the part where we leave, and head back to San Diego.
mini transitions always make me uncomfortable, and I can never pin down quite why. I think it has something to do with just beginning to enjoy whatever situation I'm in at the present moment when I realize I'm leaving it behind soon.
it's not San Diego that I don't want to return to, either - it's the ominous task of finishing my poster for the AAS meeting and printing it by the end of this week. (the meeting in Long Beach begins on Sunday.) I'm also a little stressed about Mike's very promising but very un-nailed-down job offer. I'm not sure how we'll share the minivan in the coming two weeks since I have to get to Long Beach and he may be beginning a new job, then we have to get up to Simi Valley for Karen & David's wedding but he doesn't know if he could get time off so soon. I suppose uncertainties such as these are what really get me unsettled. like the whole first half of this year when I didn't know what I was doing with my life. good times. of course, it all works out in the end, one way or another!
so as I sit in Mike's parents' basement here in Burien, he is packing up our Wii and I am pondering the next steps. we don't know when we'll be back here next, and we don't know what the next several months will bring. but do we ever really know these things?
2009 shall be an adventure. the number of the next year always seems so large and unfamiliar! we hope to see you along the journey... :) Happy New Year.
