Unexpected Changes

I’m back in Sacramento again, taking a break from my road trip and trying to get this condo wrapped up.  It’s taking longer than I originally hoped but we are making progress.  Real estate has changed since the last time I bought and sold.  It’s much more complicated now after the events of the last few years.  So I moved back into my condo for the time being.  No furniture, just my luggage and my trusty air mattress.  It’s strange to be back in the place I thought I would never see again.  Not bad, just strange.  And I hadn’t planned on being here in winter so I had to go to my storage unit and dig out a few of my winter clothes!  But I am taking advantage of the stability and familiarity that I lacked when road tripping.  I have noticed a shift in my thinking.  Before, I would get stressed out if I didn’t have a plan and know (or think I knew) what was going to happen.  Now I find that trying to plan stresses me out because of all the unknowns.  Until I wrap up the condo, I don’t know where I am going to go because things change quickly.  Where I might go today might be different than where I will go a month or two from now.  And some of the places I am interested in have not responded to my communications.  In the meantime, some new opportunities have arisen that I did not expect.  It’s constantly changing.  So I will wait until the time is right to make the decision.  In my travels, talking to various folk, I have gotten some new ideas as well.  We shall see if those are still feasible when the time comes.  Until then, I will enjoy Sacramento and take advantage of my extended time here.
