In the early morning hours before falling asleep, I was depressed and teary-eyed. I just wish I knew where we were heading in life! I feel like we’re at a major turning point in our lives yet going nowhere at the same time. All this uncertainty gets tough to deal with at times, never knowing just how many more moves there’s going to be, where there’ll be, how they’ll be, etc. Moving just 10 miles to this rural area where some of his coworkers rent houses sounds convenient, but the coast sounds even better. I miss the smell, sound and sight of the sea! If it never happens – fine, and it probably won’t, but how cool it’d be to end up living in California! As most people who know me know, I’ve always been fascinated by that state. Then I could say I lived in 5 states, as much as I’m sick of moving. However, some of the coastal towns in northern California all look too small, and well, where would he work? We like the idea of a town with only 4,000 people in it, but he needs to have jobs available to him. Unfortunately, he’s not eligible for unemployment till April, so hopefully they won’t go out of business before then, so he can start collecting while we’re relocating. Nothing’s etched in stone yet, though right now Brookings is looking like a possibility since Medford’s so big. Brookings is 5 miles above the California border. It doesn’t get over 70º, but it doesn’t get below freezing either. The humidity levels are way up there, but with it being cool, it shouldn’t be a big deal. Here, the white population is 81% while there it’s 90% (Phoenix is 55% white and Maricopa’s 75% Mexican). They also get less snow (we now have a couple of inches of accumulation here) and more rain.
