so guys for the first time ever in my life I have entertained the thought of moving out of this province. You know, I've never gotten more than 10 minutes away from my parents and I've never particularly liked living where I live. How sad is THAT? I've lived in this area for 28 years. Most people don't do that unless they like it. Why am I such a complacent rock? It's not like I'll be getting any second lives to try it all out again, so jesus, I better do something about it NOW!
I feel so trapped; by work, by circumstance, by this place. This city never moves forward. It barely changes. And I don't even like being downtown anyway! Am I having a midlife crisis? Ha, maybe so. I understand why it happens. Someday, I might actually do something important without worrying about how other people react. That will be nice. I want to say goodbye to Groundhog Day.
It's actually a pretty decent day today temperature wise. Maybe spring is finally coming?

3 dirty hippies blowing your mind:
they say change is good, tracey. just don't be lulled into the idea that a new location will somehow reset *everything*. the one thing you can never get away from is yourself!
but reading your blog every day, i think it is very clear that you are DYING for a change. few of us have the luxury of changing where we live and how we live at the same time. it seems that you have been doing some work on the latter in the last year or two, now maybe it is indeed time to address the former ...
where are you thinking of? much as you may want to you cannot realistically move the US and work -- its a very unlikely proposition. are there not also practical considerations, like moving a distance away from parents who are well into old age or being away from your kids?
ultimately, that aside it seems to me that you are very much moving towards embracing a west coast mentality, and maybe Vancouver would suit you better. if D. can do what he does pretty much anywhere, as long as you have the money to tide you over (sell the condo!) until you find work, relocating isn't out of the question -- this big ol' country of ours is your playground!
of course, escaping the cold is something you'll not manage to do without leaving the country ...
Ha! My parents are actually NOT well into old-age...at least not by today's standards...my dad is 66 and my mother just turned 63 a few days ago. They don't need me around, hell, they do more than I do.
Yeah, not looking to reset stuff, everything I've wanted to work on I pretty much have, EXCEPT location. I've never really loved living here and I think that matters a lot.
Not thinking U.S. I WOULD consider B.C. now, something I didn't think I ever would have done before. But all of this is just tumbling around in my addled brain right now, nothing is even remotely in motion.
come to BC!! :)
