quickie post
Flying back will eat the whole day, even though I'll be actually in the air for only 5 1/2 hours or so. I love having my laptop; I have my own in-flight movies.
I think leaving will be easier this time.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zinnea pointed out that this time I'm not carting 8 cats on a massive road trip, and while a lack of 8 cats always makes traveling easier, I think it's also true that I'm going to be OK. I mean, I think I'm going to do better.
Sometimes I worry that part of me doesn't want to be happy in the south. That my subconscious is somehow convinced that I can't belong in both, and I certainly don't want to stay in Tennessee, so I shouldn't be happy there. Like I wouldn't fit in anymore in Seattle if I became perfectly happy in Chattanooga.
On the other hand--OK, listen, stupid subconscious: isn't it even better to manage to be happy in a place you don't really belong than to bitch and moan about it all the time?

That's wonderful! Yeah, it takes a long time for everyone, I guess. I had always heard 6 months was the minimum timeframe for adjusting to a new place. Add in the cultural differences for our moves, and I think we're both doing pretty well! I hope you have a great time with the boy!
