It has been some time since I wrote or things have been normal for me. We have been currently displaced and will be for some time, though I do hope by next week we will have some sense of normalcy until we can find a permanent place to call home.
I didn’t think that I’d ever crave the normal I had. I had such huge pipedreams of what I wanted- of things that were different from what I had. Now, I just want to go back to that or some version of it.
In order to find something that felt normal, I decided to wake up and write today. Writing has always been my outlet for working through things, even if those things are a struggle.
The fun in all of this is finding something we like. What is it that we want? Part of me wishes that we could buy, or that I could even help my son buy something. I’m still burdened with student loans, so there’s not much that I can do. It lessens my purchasing power. My son doesn’t have that problem. Perhaps he will be able to have what it is that he wants for him and his children.
Until we can find that, we are just searching. Searching, watching, and waiting for things to settle from the dust into a normal life.
