Looking Back

Posted at 8:23 pm MDT to Miscellaneous

It has been 9 months since I left the apartment in Boston. I think my body and subconscious are just finally beginning to trust that I am home and safe. (being snowed in all winter didn't really help.

I think the house is beginning to believe it's a home again too. The problem with travelling so much when you live alone is that there is no one to keep the household running in the meantime. I still haven't thoroughly de-mousified the basement: it was disgusting enough cleaning out the main level. Gah.

From Mid-August 2004 to Memorial Day weekend 2005 I was in the Boston area, mostly in corporate housing.

I had surgery a few day after I got back, and took a couple of weeks to recover. Then I flew to Albuquerque every week (fly out Sunday fly home Friday) for a month or so, followed by 7 or 8 weeks of working remotely with Albuquerque while I had radiation treatments.

Then I flew to California every week for a month. Then Atlanta every week for a month.

Then, with breaks for the Christmas/New Year holidays, I flew to California every week to the end of April.

Drove to Boston again and lived in corporate housing until the weekend of Dec 8. 9 months ago.

I still get tired just thinking about being out of town that much.

I think if they offer me a gig that is full-time out of town again in corporate housing, I'm going to put my resume out. I'm too old for this shit.

And flying every week is going become impossible if the airports get any more stupid with their security theater.
