Finished most of the moving. Granted now I've got some time before this new place feels even close to being like home. For some I know, that happens fast, but for me, not so much. Maybe I'm picky after having moved around so much with the military that when I settle down somewhere I want it to be, not perfect really, but comfortable from the start and that my requirements for such a thing are too steep. I can wake up and go to bed, I can cook and lounge about but it just feels as though I'm in a transient slot. That, days, weeks from now I'll be else where; somewhere that feels more like a home.
It's not like the place is bad or rundown or anything. I don't know... I'd lived at the other place for longer than any other and maybe I'd gotten it into my head that I'd be there till I was done with it and ready to move on. Looking at it that way, it brings me back to the wish that I wasn't forced to move. I am a greedy person at times, I like to end things on my terms and in a congenial way and that hadn't happened with this move.
I was talking with one of my few guy friends last night and he brought up the point that, because of the military I've been fortunate enough to get to have terms that are clearly defined and that I can accept. True that the orders I get may not be what I expect but it's not like I've ever hated getting them. When I joined, I acknowledged that I would give up certain things to the whims of the government. And that, maybe, that's why I try so hard and hope so much to be able to control my civilian life.
It's not like I can say he's wrong.
But that is that and lots of therapy has gotten me to the point that I can at least, somewhat, deal with this "crisis" of life.
In other news, I'll be starting back on my adventure log in the next few days once I work out the net issue. (I'm at a library right now)
