Haven't blogged in a bit, mainly because I've been relaxing back home on the farm. Visiting some old friends, checking out my old college, seeing what the new crop of kids are coming out with. Throwing out junk at the house, cleaning out the barn, feeding horses, moving wood from 200 yards away from the house into the garage, painting floors in the basement, you know, all that stuff that parents get you doing when you come home for a vacation. I can honestly say I don't mind any of it, I sit in a control room for a living, very sedentary, so to do all this stuff makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something.
It's nice to be able to get back and see people you haven't seen, and hear their stories about where they are now. Friends are getting married, buying houses, moving up in their jobs, having kids, some are doing the same thing and are totally cool with that. I am to, I like to think I'm going somewhere but sometimes being in a spot for a while feels pretty good. I have a lot on the go coming up this fall, and lots to do until then, but right now, I kinda miss my comfy couch back in my home in Victoria, I'm missing the routine of my life, I'm missing my room, my tv, my PS3, the balmy winter weather, the ocean, having a spot for all my clothes, putting food in my own fridge.
It's not far off, 2 more days then I'm flying home to the shire as my friend Chris calls it. I'm gonna miss this place but as you get older you sorta start missing your home town less and less, and missing your current home more and more. . It's a weird feeling sometimes.
