We all do take responsibility for charting our own course in life, we may well go in an entirely different direction from the one laid out for us by society and familial expectations. Mine was one that was an open ended direction – without an exact location, but some cadence and networks. This can be uncomfortable in the short term, but in the long term it is much worse to imagine living this precious life without ever taking the wheel and navigating our own course. In all this said I am in the midst of a move and I have been traveling of around six weeks now. Sure we all take responsibility with what we do and we do have obligations. In coming to this city I was determined to settle down in a new city. I found that the last four days have not been that easy.
Finessing so much can be a long day to say the least but finally I will have accomplished my new goals effectively this weekend. As I have a new place in a new city. I will have to go and rent our or sell my other place – but that won’t be till the New Year. I am not sure how many people have lived in hotels but I can honestly say that regardless – it’s going to be nice to get settled in. Two meetings to day and then some work, then two trips for furniture as well as then ending up at the dentists office with an infection in my upper gum. I am on an antibiotic and I can wait to just get into my own home. At least I have not major situation with my teeth, but what I found amazing was that I met a few new friends – as the dentist is from Peru, and most of his staff are from the middle part of latin America.
After I left yesterday, I was told to go back as I am on two medications for the infection and I can’t wait as there is an entire Spanish community here. Most are from Colombia, Argentina, Chile, and the middle portion of Latin America. I certainly look forward to this. But meanwhile, with the things taken place this week it’s been rather hard and much multi tasking. I look forward to just getting in my place and putting my feet up. The reason – you can be yourself within your own home.
If there is one thing that I can say - I planned last summer to go to Latin America and then I was side tracked. So all in all, aside of the infection, one more day and then I can be within my home.
