What goes around...

Ok, so the first two subject headings just happened to be song titles, but now, I'm just going to roll with it...

So I was sitting in my new living room the other morning with a creamy cup of coffee before heading off to work, when I looked out my window, and noticed that I could just see the top of some towers reading, "Cedars Sinai Medical Center," - the hospital where I was born. I found it amazing that after all these years, I have moved myself a mere 3 blocks from the exact location of my birth in order to start a new life.

After all the places I have traveled, countries I have lived in, here I am; just another member of the overwhelming majority of people in this world who live their adult lives within 50 miles of their place of birth.

That said, I am enjoying my new routine and new surroundings enormously. The only downside to all this is that, due to some recent changes and upheavals at the winery, my every-other-weekend job has turned into an every-weekend-obligation. I am working 4 weekends in a row, meaning my next day off is in March. Surprisingly, I am taking this all in stride, and accept that this is only a temporary situation. My mother on the other hand, seems to be more concerned for my well-being than I. I will let you know if I lose my marbles, or maybe you could let me know if my posts start going downhill...or if they stop appearing at all.
