From the other side

Two? Three? weeks later, and I've been home for quite a while now.

Reconnecting with folks, getting readjusted, trying to stay productive, seeking out a new job and niche in my new (old) city....it's definitely been a task of no easy measure, but I would say I'm slowly getting used to it all.

I always get the inevitable "Do you miss Hawaii?" question and of course the answer is yes.  I miss my home, my friends, taiko, my sig other.  And home feels so different now, presumably because I'm (a little) different now, it's almost like my third city of residence.

But, home IS still home, and I think the best part has been having close access to friends and family again.  It's very comforting in a lot of ways, and in the time that I've been back in some ways I have a new appreciation for things.

And anyway, knowing I'll be back to visit (and work) for a few days is comforting.  Seeing those most important to me will be so amazing, I can't even express my excitement.

Lots of things to figure out, in the way of, well, LIFE, but I guess that's just how it always goes.  It'll be interesting to find out the answers to all of my questions.
