and we're back...in Maine. Again.

After a long 34 hour drive, I am now back in Maine. I've been here a week now and it seems that I already have a bout of home sickness for Colorado.
My dreams of Maine have not been shattered,since, well to be honest, I never had them in the first place. Being here is no fanciful wish, no, being here is a necessity. I have to do this for the kids.
But when the kids aren't around, I sigh.
Since I've been here, not a lot has really clicked per se.

My living situation is not ideal at all, but I will endure while I get settled and save some money for my own apartment.
My social life is kinda a joke. I've been hanging around with Holly which is nice, but I haven't been able to connect with ANY of my past friends. Everyone seems buried in their own lives and there wasn't much of a celebration when I mentioned I was back in town.
I've been reaching out to people, but just not a lot of reciprocation that suggests this is something they really want. I need to rebuild my social life.
I do have to say though, the one thing that HAS been working for me is my work. Which honestly, is quite unexpected. I wasn't sure how I'd do working from home. I know my tendencies to get distracted. However, it seems me working from home has maximized my productivity to a whole new level. Maybe quiet environments is exactly what I need to get things done.

I'm sitting in a coffee shop called Breakfast in Paris and I really like it. Kinda reminds me of Paris a little bit...
I think I'll try and make this part of my morning routine. Bring in my laptop, order a coffee and pastry and just reflect on my life. I do need to clear my head though and consider this a new start and not try to rebuild what I once had, it's just not here anymore.
