Such an easy question can at times be difficult to answer. When I was younger in the span of 3 years, I had moved 9 times. Good thing I had a PO Box, because that would have been a lot of address changes. I used to joke that I never got called in for jury duty because they could never track me down, but seriously it's probably true. Most recently I moved to Utah from Oregon. Most of my animals are in California, the majority of my belongings are in Oregon, the necessities here with me in Utah. Where am I from you ask? I guess I don't know. I think it's a Jason Boland song that says, "I have a harmless habit of being fine wherever I am". That pretty much sums up my life.
Yesterday I called to try and get internet at my house. He needed an address, only I truly do not have one. We don't pay our own utilities, just a flat rate to the government which comes out of our checks. There's no address on the agreement I signed and we can't get mail here. The man asked if I could ask a neighbor. Umm, if I don't have an address I probably don't have neighbors either. He really couldn't understand the concept.
One of my roommates constantly complains of being bored, granted she also doesn't have a car having flown here from the East Coast. I have yet to feel that way. Quite the contrary, I've felt rushed for time since I got here. Having so much to get done each day that I rarely go to bed on time. Of course I can probably count on 2 hands the number of times I've truly been bored in life. I'm easily amused. I've been here for almost 2 weeks now and it still feels like a dream. I can't get over the fact that I finally graduated and now have 3 degrees. I'm getting spoiled by the high country, where 85 is considered hot. Try as I may, I can't avoid the effect of the sun. Slowly deepening the color of my skin. My hands haven't been this dark in years. I love it all.
I fully embrace the old saying, "Home is where you hang your hat".
Xo Loves,
Me
