The new life - here we go

Day 1

I arrived in Norman, OKieland yesterday.

I now stay here.
I now live here.
I now am resident here.
I now am trying to convince myself of this change.

I think the hardest part is convincing mom that I do not need for her to take care of me. I lived 30 some odd years by myself (mostly) and can take care of things, I am not an invalid and I do not want a "maid" of sorts. Oh, yes, she loves it and wants to ... I just don't love it or want her to.

I need to look for my next lifestyle, my next life, what to do, what to do. I do not want to retire to a rocking chair and have nothing to do but be a meddling old fart.

The thing I fear the most is the friendships I left behind. They are elsewhere and away from me. Social media takes care of a lot. Still. I am trying to avoid thinking about it cause it sends my mind whirling.  I may not be the greatest at getting in touch with people but once in a while I did, or I'd comment on something or whatever.

I just liked the security friendship blanket.

I feel naked here.

I know I have my family. I know I have the few people I know. It's just the lack of other things to do that create trouble. I want to be busy! Making something. Making money. Making trouble. Don't care. I just want to make busy and get going.

I miss that. I miss the business. I miss the working. I miss the having to be somewhere at some time for some period of time.

Get the flow of thoughts? Well, stick around. More to come.
