This is getting old...

It has been about three months since I started "commuting" to my new job. At first I thought that I would establish this routine where I would work four long days in Salt Lake each week and then be home on Thursday and work from my St George office each Friday. Well after 3 months I have been to my St George office exactly twice. My plan lasted about two weeks but I was constantly adding extra days to my room reservations and making constsant changes in my plans. Suffice it so say that before the first month had passed I was officially "living" at the Crystal Inn. Yep I just went to the front desk and booked the room for a couple of months. It actually took a little stress out of my life because I could now come and go as I pleased and not worry about checking in, checking out, packing up all my things etc. I now "pack" to go and visit home.

Well it helped for a few weeks but as time goes on I am just tired of being alone all of the time. I work long and intense days and then go to an empty room and sit. At first I would go out and browse the book stores or get up early and go to the gym etc, but now most days I just work and then sit in my room. I don't wish to go anywhere because I have seen it all already and I don't seem to have the energy or desire to walk or to work out or anything I just work and then wait to go back to work again.

It is not all gloomy though, Lori and the kids have been frequent visitors and that helps a lot, and this weekend I will be going home for a couple of days and that gives me something to look forward to. As you know from Lori's blog there may be some light at the end of the tunnel, maybe just maybe we will be back as a normal family in July and I will exchange the loneliness for the noise and confusion of family life and the stress and pressure of two homes to worry about. That's OK I will take the latter over the former anytime !!!
