Philadelphia Freedom

Well, here I am at the airport. It's 11am, I've been here since 9:30 and my flight doesn't leave until 2pm. It was a crazy morning but things actually fell in place rather well!

I'm flying home today. My assignment at Brandywine Hospital ended last week but I stayed for another week as a breather. I have mixed emotions about going back to Houston. I met some really awesome people here and I LOVE the community. The area is gorgeous and close to just about anything and everything that I might need or want.

The supervisor here offered me a position as did the CFO. I still have some thinking to do and while I do that, I'll try to save as much as possible to facilitate a move if it should come to that. But this decision will take a lot of thought and even more prayer. Of course, I could get home and decide I don't ever want to leave again.

I met three women here that I will forever be connected to-Alex, Nicole and Gloria. I love all three of them. Gloria works for the same company as me and so I should see her again. Each of them crack me up and I enjoy the fact that I'm ok being me with them. I don't have to filter if I don't want to. Each of them connected with me in a familial way and I wish I could bring them with me. I might be able to convince Alex!!

But home means....Home means Wyatt, Krystl, the girls, and Mom. It means lots of love and even more laughter. It means sleeping in my own bed--if Wyatt can manage to stay on his side of the bed. It means structure and routine. It means finding a job--UGH!! But I know that after a few weeks, I'll get stir crazy and need to get out of the house.

I might end up in Lake Charles, LA for a month or so. That would be great if I can get on that project. I could save a couple thousand dollars and try to buy a car. That would help greatly in the pursuit of employment. Gloria said she'd help get me on that project along with another one in VA. Which reminds me, I need to file for unemployment.

When it's all said and done, I live a great life. I have a great life. I should settle down and find a small little house with a yard for Wyatt and settle into my old womanhood. I should....but it's highly unlikely that I will. For now, I'm going to enjoy myself and do my darnedest to stay out of the freaking casinos!! Really, Michelle...STAY OUT OF THE CASINOS!!

I will miss the Philly area!! I hope I get to come back soon!! Maybe if the money is right, I'll move here in by the end of the year. Alex wants me to move in with her. I could do that. I think. I'm a slob and can't cook and she's neat and can cook. It'll be the odd couple!!

Well, this post didn't end up being interesting, it ended up being lame!! I'm in a lame mood. Or, I'm just lame. Yeah, I'm in a lame mood!!

I sure hope Krystl remembers she said she'd pick me up today. I'd call her now but she's probably still asleep!! Who am I kidding?? Probably?? lol...now THAT'S funny!!
