Possible Possibilities and Impossible Plans
Today my sister called to let me know that my brother-in-law got into the pharmacy school in Madison and that she, her husband, and the niblings are moving to Madison this summer. I'm wildly conflicted about this.
On one hand, it means that I'm less likely to act on my flight impulse to quit my job, light everything on fire and run away to Iceland when there are niblings nearby to corrupt and torture.
On the other hand, if they decided they wanted to buy my house, then I'd be free to wander off to whatever corner of the world I wanted to go to.
And, again, leaving town is not really the core of the change that I want, but the other issues are more difficult to address... I have ideas about how to go about solving the work issue, but I'm deeply conflicted about leaving a job where I believe in the mission just because it's making me miserable and I suspect it is financially unstable. I have wild fantasies about resolving the personal life issues, but those are more from the land of fiction than reality... but with just enough plausibility to make my subconscious write compelling scripts in my sleep, but not compelling enough to make me say the crazy things aloud...
*sigh*
In any event, they don't yet know the details, they just made the decision to accept the offer to the school today. Possibilities are still unfolding.
