Just got back to the west coast. Back east I ate a ton of Christmas cookies, saw some friends, and got broken up with. Which is weird because the now ex and I are still talking regularly and it doesn't feel like much has changed. Going to have to have another talk with her since I might see her this weekend. 2016 is going to be important, because a decision will have to be made as to if I stay out west, or if I make a move back east. There are a lot of people and places with meaning to me that I miss, and I'm realizing my current company and job is not a long term solution. Part of it is I realized being 3,000 miles from family is maybe farther than I want to be, they're all getting older and in need of more help these days. Plus, I just really like New England in particular. Not to see anything bad about the Northwest, but I can't maintain having vested interests in two corners of the country for too long.
