Fresh Start

Tomorrow, finally, work begins at my new assignment. It's supposed to last six months. Here's hoping.

Anyway. It's been a good day-- getting some writing done, tried out a recipe for Steak Au Poivre for dinner, and later on I'm heading to the gym again.

It hasn't been easy, living here. I've been trying to build a life up here, but I think part of the problem is that I've been too much reminded of people from home-- from Maryland. This is supposed to be home now, right?

Which isn't to say that I'm not supposed to miss my family and friends. I do. But I need my focus to be up here. The present. I have friends. I have a date, on Friday. I hope that goes well.

Anyway. Some things to think about.
