“…California”

Now I turn my focus toward moving, the possibility of possibly moving to California with Samantha’s family. The facts:

-By early-early June, Mrs. Hainline (Sammey’s Mom) will have packed up all of the things they plan to take cross-country.
-Most of Sammey’s things, clothes, and otherwise, in boxes, on a truck, and sent ahead of her.
-Sammey will be then spending the summer with her Dad, and myself, up until Late August, where she will be flying to her new home.

Unless an emergancy arises, the plan will go through.

-Mr. Hainline himself, offered to house me, until I was able to secure a job, apartment, car, etc. “Get settled”
-Brilliant air-travel deals show a one-way flight as low as $125, if I order them soon

Do I really want to move?

- Yes I do, I’ve wanted to get out of the house, but finances have always stood in the way, in one way or another. I don’t wanna spend that much when home is free… I’m not making that much, because I haven’t put in the hours I need to… This gives me motivation and a critical sense of need.

-Opportunity to move
-Opportunity to stay with Sammey
-New fresh experiences and environment
-New networking opportunities

The way I’ve best operated, has always been from clean slates. I take time, to empty my mind, to empty my schedule, and quite nearly meditate. I resort my priorities, and pursue things with renewed vigor.

Home life has lead me to become lethargic, our home is no longer a sanctuary, and according to my odometer, I spend little-to-no time there. Sleep seems to be the extent of my stay. I seldom even eat at home anymore. If I do, I snack on the provisions of the pantry, a mixture of nuts, peanut butter, crackers, chips, water, milk, soda, and leftovers.

However, because of the amount I spend at Sam’s home in E. Lansing, I get little homework, work-work done either. At Sam’s, means with Sam. No arguement there. It takes equal amount of effort to get a project done, at either location. Alot of “meditation” focus time, concreting goals, setting “achievements”, and following through. Each step wears on me like another mile in a marathon.

However, once we’re under the same roof, one might come to the conclusion, that we likely won’t be together, as much, as when I come to visit. Priorities can be mananged, and life can cruise right along. Saddly, this is hypothetical. Dunno how we’re going to react, or how long we’ll take to react.

One major concern is work, if I can’t find work, how am I supposed to move out? California is one suffering economy, people are moving out of california, in order to find work, and it’s a scary consideration that I might be going to a place, and flounder to find a job.

I might flounder to get a car, hold an apartment… so many other firsts, that I haven’t experienced here at home.

More to come.
