Just when I thought life was beginning to settle down, that I'd finally have a moment to catch my breathe, this had to happen. It's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that it (i.e. the insanity) never seems to end. I was happy to be in Denver, to re-visit my old haunts, to ease back into the life I left. I enjoyed working for my new agency. I loved reconnecting with old friends. I had a puppy and a house I loved. I was content. But, for whatever reason, the Universe didn't see it that way. I guess it had other plans for me.
It all started out as an innocent text from a friend, who also happens to be my recruiter. At first I laughed at the offer, thinking it absurd. There was no way I could actually consider going back to Cali right now. I had just gotten back to Denver, and the logistics would be a nightmare. I would need an affordable place to stay. I would have to leave my puppy behind. Plus, Mouse would never go for this. I texted her "no". She responded with the offer. I faltered. Hmm...
So, after a whirlwind week of Facebook inquiries, text messaging, and one VERY long drive, here I am in SoCal. None of it seems real to me quite yet. I left behind one incredibly rambunctious puppy and one incredibly understanding (and supportive) husband. I can't believe we're back to doing the long-distance thing; I really thought we were done with that. But, sometimes, life throws us curve-balls, and we have no choice but to play ball. This is a great opportunity, both financially and career-wise, so I'm glad we're able to make it work. I always say that life is an adventure; I guess this is just another example of me learning to embrace it. Denver will still be there when this assignment it over, as will my house, my Mouse, and my puppy. Welcome back to Cali.
