Tumbleweed

Sometimes I feel like I live in coffee shops and bars.
Like today.
Today I woke up and went to a coffee shop to get my coffee, went home, got dressed, found all my tax documents, and then spent about an hour at a coffee shop getting everything filled out (I get $198 from the federal government, I owe $145 to the state, I guess I'm coming out on top, but still disappointing. I was hoping to buy a computer with my refunds but it doesn't look like that's happening).
Spent a little time on facebook and yahoo getting updated, then on NBA.com getting pumped up for tomorrow's game.
Clocking in at 2 hours in a coffee shop today.
In a few minutes here I will go to Block 15 and switch to bar mode.
Super friendly Gwen will put on her smile and hostess anyone who walks in the door, then eat some food, maybe have a beer, then go home and sleep and wake up early to work at the coffee shop.
Mail can be forwarded to my new addresses... Block 15 and Interzone.
At least if I have to be somewhere other than home I have some pretty good places to spend my time.
I've never really liked my job so much that I want to hang out there when I'm not working. Now I have two jobs that I hang out at almost every day, happily.
Weird.
I should be grateful but, as it often happens when my life gets comfortable, I'm getting bored. Itching to stir things up. I wonder what it will be this time.
I've decided that moving is an unwise choice: Money that I might use for a deposit on a place should really go to other things (like debts) and I really should stop taking time off and get my butt in gear so I can owe the world a little less money. Definitely planning on staying in Corvallis another year at least.
When I moved here I thought it was only temporary.
Funny how the places I think I'll live in end up being short-term and the place I move for "just a second" ends up actually feeling like home.
Corvallis feels like Iowa City to me. But in Oregon.
Homey.
But with mountains in the background.
So even though I'm itching to stir things up it's not going to be by moving to another city. I'm going to have to find something else to make life exciting.
Something else has got to change soon, besides the scenery.
Stay tuned.
