Dec. 28th, 2011 09:30 amRight now, I live about 1000 miles from my nearest family member, and I live over 1600 miles from my parents, sister, and grandmother. Some days, that is a very good thing. My mom likes to hover, which she learned from my grandmother (her mother), and my sister is so bitter about all of the hovering that fights routinely happen. But sometimes I feel rather lonely out here. The landscape is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but it isn't "home" in my mind, at least not yet. Maybe it will be someday.
Today, I'm cooking a big pot of chili soup (vegetarian). It's my grandfather's "secret recipe" (whatever...), so hopefully that will make me feel a little better. I always get a little homesick around the holidays, even though I don't want to live there anymore.
This year coming up, I really want to start writing again. I haven't written anything of consequence in years. I've signed up for a writing community, and my goal is to write 75,000 words this year. I have no idea if I am going to be able to do it, but I am definitely going to try!
