Getting My Sanity Back

I finally feel that I'm getting my sanity back ...at least however much of it I have left. This last month of being back has really been a blur. I have only had little moments here and there where I have been able to look back on this trip and take it all in. Between coming home, returning the Jeep, giving several lectures, trying to find a place to live, being broke, and seeing friends it has been a big rush of everything. However, once again I am back home in Baraga.

Coming back to Baraga wasn't the most desirable of things to do right now, however it was the most practical. I have a little my space, a little more freedom, and I have to say there is a lot of relief being in a familiar place. There's just not much to do! I'm so used to being in new and unfamiliar places that that's what I long for. Hoping to move to a new place perhaps.

After being home for just a couple days I am much more relaxed than I was. And of course I can't go wrong when I get to live off of my mom's great cooking. So I'm slowly settling back in, "coming back down to earth" as I've been saying. Given a little more time I'll be ready to approach the next big. So that's where I stand now. Last time around at home I just wasn't relaxed, plus I was sick. So this feels great right now. I'll take the time to enjoy it. Besides, I have other travel ideas, and it might be another year before I'm back again.
