Well, we moved. We are now in southern AZ. Beautiful, mountains, dry, very dry, and mecruial weather this time of year. One day it's hot enough to wear shorts, the next, you need a heavy jacket.
We had a hellish trip across country with an overloaded Uhaul, and tired and very sick people trying to just get here. We faced torrential rains, hail, tornados, were re routed because of a bus wreck in Atlanta, did I mention we were really sick for part of it?? But we made it. We've been here about a month, and are in a very weird house until Sept. Then we'll be moving into military quarters, which are absolutely FREAKIN GEORGEOUS!!!here. Up in one of the canyons, just really beautiful, even if there are bears, mountain cats, turkeys and javelinas that come around on trash day looking for food.
It's been good to reconnect with old friends, meet new people, butI really really miss some of the people we left in GA. I knew I was goingto miss them, but I'd forgotten how hard it is to leave real friends behind when you have learned to count on them. I miss the trees too. Not as much as I miss my friends, but I miss the green and the trees. There isn't much green here. It's pretty. Beautiful. But it's not green like it is in the deep south. No big trees exceptfor the one that's really a cell phone tower, that's been dressed up to look like a pine tree. I feel really disconnected. I know I'll find my niche here, but I feel really out of whack.
The kids are starting to come back normal. Still higher drama than usual because they miss people, places and our routine too. But it's getting better.
I feel depression coming on. I am goingto be better about taking my supplements. They help, but not if I leave them in the bottle. Coming here was what needed to happen. I know that. It's a good place to be. I know that too. But right now, I just want to go home, and have the life Ileft back. I know it can't happen, but it's what I'd wish if I could.
